Query: Not my cup of tea...

I was given this trilogy as a gift, and sadly I have stopped reading it after the first book. I didn't find the main character in the first book very believable, in that he seemed to be rationally driven, but at every step he made such stupid mistakes.I also found Auster rambles on and on for pages at times on topics that are only loosely connected with the storyline. This can often be done well, but he does it by telling rather than by showing, which I find to be one of the biggest differences between a good book and a bad one.I was quite surprised at the many positive things I've heard about this book. I suppose it just wasn't for me.
