Tom Robbins. Awesome, awesome author. Skinny Legs is my favorite, followed very closely by Jitterbug Perfume and a newer one - Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. I've got all his titles and all are good.

What quotes! Two I like besides the one in my tagline:

"Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet."

"...to emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line."

Oh boy! I am a book junkie. I'm going to live in this thread. I read several books at any one time.

My current novel is Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami



My current non-fiction book is The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins



I just finished reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Jackson was a master writer. Do yourself a favor and check out her stuff. You will be knocked-out.

Tom Robbins. Awesome, awesome author.

Haven't had too much of an opportunity to read much Robbins. I did read Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas. I really like how he wrote that book, entirely in the second person. Very interesting.

There is no need to watch "The Stand" movie. Way too much is missing.

I also count "The Stand" as one of my favorite books ever.

Half Asleep is different from most of his others in more than one way - point of view, time frame, and something else - I dunno, maybe the character development was a little redundant - although it's good, it's also one of my least favs.
