Paul Auster's Hand to Mouth: A Chronicle of Early Failure is a fascinating and often funny memoir about his early years as a writer struggling to be published, and to make enough money to survive. Leaving high school with "itchy feet" and refusing to play it safe, Auster avoided convention and the double life of steady office employment while writing. From the streets of New York City, Dublin, and Paris to a surreal adventure in a dusty village in Mexico, Auster's account of living on next to nothing introduces an unforgettable cast of characters while examining what it means to be a writer.

Nice jeans for the price.
Size: 35W x 34L, Color: Black-heavyweight
Very comfortable and well fitting pants. The only issue I have is it's not tapered towards the bottom of the leg and doesn't look as fitted but overall is a very good pair of pants for the price.

Cheap
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Stone Medium Wash
The fit is pretty terrible. Bunchy in the crotch. Lack of inseam lengths so they can be either too long or too short depending on your height. I would have rated these a 3 overall because they are what you pay for. Passable cheap jeans, but honestly you're better off shopping cheap department store jeans. I give it a one for durability. Only a handful of wears since September and they've torn at the stitching under the zipper just after a very light lunge. Buyer beware .

Can't beat it!
Size: 30W x 34L, Color: Black-heavyweight
These pants are a little to snug on waist but i only really notice this problem on black jeans regardless of brand, other than that These a verry comfy zipper work well haven't had any issues I wear these once a week so obviously I wash them once a week, color hasnt faded much at all. Compared to levi I think amazon has them beat in Price, Quality, Durability, Color Fading. You cant go wrong with these.
