I know these aren't particularly the same theme but they're my favourite books I've read so far this year. Recently I read Moon Palace (loved it), The Music of Chance (liked it, quick read, preferred Moon Palace), Nausea by Sartre (liked it but not as much as Auster), Camus The Outsider (didn't resonate with me), The Sun Also Rises (really hated the dialogue in this book) and The Old Man and the Sea (loved it).
I haven't read anything else by these authors.
