“For the loneliness you foster I suggest Paul Auster – a book called Timbuktu.”

Lyric by Fionn Regan that eventually led to Auster being one of my favorite authors throughout my teens and early twenties.

Damn. I loved his early works as a teen. His books taught me English (along with Anne Rice's. Kids have weirdly eclectic tastes.)
