I Thought My Father Was God, edited by Paul Auster

I Thought My Father Was God was a relatively forgettable book.  I found the stories quite uneven and Auster's voice sometimes grated on my nerves.  I got the feeling that the pool of entries wasn't always deep enough - that he was searching for barely acceptable behavior based on the organization of the chapters.  I wonder if the audiobook format undermined the book, but since they are individual stories, I kind of doubt it.
