Books
Following his release, Irving continued to write books, including Trial, Tom Mix and Pancho Villa, Final Argument, and Daddy's Girl. He lived in East Hampton, then San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, then Santa Fe, finally settling into a quiet and semi-reclusive life near Aspen, Colorado, where, in his own words, he "writes, paints, gardens, practices tai chi and yoga, chops firewood, and counts his blessings".
The fake autobiography was published in Santa Fe in a private edition in 1999, and went out of print, but, in March 2008, John Blake Publishing, a British company, issued Howard Hughes: The Autobiography. All the events of the experience were described in detail in Irving's The Hoax, published by The Permanent Press in 1981 (previously issued under different titles by Grove Press in New York in 1972 and Allison & Busby in London in 1977).
In 2012, Irving digitally self-published 12 of his works, some of which had never been published before, including I Remember Amnesia, Jailing: the Prison Memoirs of 00040, and Bloomberg Discovers America.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
