Re: Speaking of Tom Robbins ...

Well, you're kinda right, Craig. They are all words from titles of Robbin's novels...
And I adore him as well. I'm reading "Villa Incognito" (as well as about 4 other non-related books) right now, and am enjoying it. He is one of the few writers that I absolutely MUST put down. Normally, I simply inhale books. I mean that I can literally read two regular-sized novels a day without any major problems, and still manage to do the daily house stuff, including the homeschooling. I think my ultimate job would be as a book reviewer, or possibly as an editor. But I digress.
I simply will not allow myself to consume a Robbins novel in the same fashion. I must savor it. I must enjoy it. I must take the time to breathe between each new side-splitting metaphor. So it usually takes me at least a week to read one of his books. And that really is way too fast still! There should be a 10 sentence limit at a time, for fear of overdose.
Anyhow, you get the points, man. Have you read Jitterbug Perfume yet?
