Tom Robbins
    #5723651 -

I've seen his name around here alot recently so I picked up two of his books, 'Jitterbug Perfume' and 'Vila Incognito'.

Which one should I read first? (No Spoilers Please)

I've only read one and half of his books.  I'm currently halfway through Skinny Legs and All.  The other one was Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.

I've never read either of the two so I can't say which one's better.  It's Tom Robbins though.  Pick one and read it.  :smile:

I beleive OMR said Jitterbug was his best.

"Still Life w/ Woodpecker" is the only Tom Robbins book I have read.  I liked it.  :thumbup:

Just pick one and read it.

Jitterbug Perfume is one of the best stories I've ever read.

I've only read 'Still Life w/ WoodPecker', it was excellent. That man has skills. Amazing assemblage of words.

He makes me feel worthless as a writer. He's too damn good.

That's exactly my problem. I just started writing daily again because of this English class that I'm in and I feel like everything I write is completely juvenile...stylewise.

When I finish the book I'm currently reading, I'm definitely gonna pick up 'Jitterbug Perfume'. Heard too much good stuff to not read it.

Tanuki is the greatest book character ever, definitely Villa Incognito.

But Pan is also pretty cool, so Jitterbug Perfume will not disappoint.

Solution is to read both books in unison, one page at a time, in constant back and forth motion.

Tom Robbins is great! I love how all his books feature Psychedelics and anal sex!

Another fan of Robbins, especially Still Life With Woodpecker, but also Another Roadside Attraction.. that one is trippy as fuck. Great style too.. if you like Kurt Vonnegut, you should like Tom Robbins.
