I love it when people who don't read try to act like they're well read. Just because you read a couple books from a garage sale does not make you an expert.

go read GBS or Tom Robbins. they lived just as much of a hedonistic life but came away with many more objective truths.

do yourself a favor and read those guys.

I really like Charles Bukowski, but i've never read Robbins or Shaw. One of them is next on my list now.

if you are going Robbins my favorites in order are:

Fierce Invalids home from hot climates
Still Life with Woodpecker
Another Roadside Attraction
Jitterbug Perfume

then all the rest. all still good, but those 4 stick out.
