recommended reading

[.ghoti.]

All by Tom Robbins. Not recommended for those easily offended.

Another Roadside Attraction (1971)

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1976)

Still Life with Woodpecker (1980)

Jitterbug Perfume (1984)

Skinny Legs and All (1990)

Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas (1994)

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates (2000)

Villa Incognito (2003)

A liitle satire, a little social commentary, a little slapstick, and a lot out of whack. You will have no idea, at all, where any of them are going, but it's a fun ride. I've highlighted my favorites. "Cowgirls" is considered by many to be his best.

Enjoy.

I am afraid my reading habits have lead to my insanity

Whats ICE NINE?

Ice nine is a form of water, solid at room temperature. From Cat's Cradle.

What's a granfaloon?

[Muddy]

It's been awhile; Granfalloons were a bunch of basically Mooks, who thought they carried the message of Bookon ( spelling) but actually were of no real importance. I belive they were native to San Lorenzo,, IS THAT CLOSE/ Who were the other gourp , the Imporant Mooks?,,,,, might be time for me to read this not under the influence

Now, i'll stump you. Who was Philboyd Studge?

[Muddy]

Philboyd Studge=Kilgore Trout=Billy Pilgrim, all Vonergut .

If I remeber corecctly , he kind of " releases" them all in Breakfast of Champions. which he wrote in a terrible depression.

Can't get it to work?

Vonnegut is a great author. Hocus Pocus is a good read as well...most of his stuff is intersting
