Is anyone reading books by W.G. Sebald? If so, any comments?

About Sebald from Wikipedia:
W. G. (Winfried Georg) Maximilian Sebald (18 May 1944, Wertach im Allgäu – 14 December 2001, Norfolk, England) was a German writer and academic. At the time of his death at the age of 57, he was being cited by many literary critics as one of the greatest living authors and had been tipped as a possible future winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. In a 2007 interview, Horace Engdahl, former secretary of the Swedish Academy, mentioned Sebald, Ryszard Kapuściński and Jacques Derrida as three recently deceased writers who would have been worthy laureates.[1]

I just got done reading "Rings of Saturn" a few weeks back. I really enjoyed it. Good writing style, good story, good plot and characters. I would deff pick up another book written by Sebald. Wasn't bad at all
