This book at once makes me want to get up and paint and yet also give up and hide. It's both discouraging for shining a flashlight on the way things are and yet surreptitiously it reminds us that nothing is the way that we believe it to be. In the end I could just gobble it up for his inc...more...

A weather beaten copy was given to me a while ago and this has been on my to-read shelf for awhile. I was promised a story that swirled about a belly dancer. I got a long ride to the holy land where screams of Jezebel mix with philosophy spilled from a can-o-beans, the tinkle of a silver spoon and t...more...

This book took me a little while to get into this time around, but once I did, TR rocked my world, as usual. Besides being hilarious, this (second) time I also noticed the careful research he did going into the book. Believe it or not, his depiction of ancient Jewish religion is pretty spot-on, at l...more...

I read this a long time ago, but it is still my favorite Robbins' book of all time. I like the idea of being nice to inanimate objects (as well as animate!) because you just never know.

his best book, in my opinion. spiritually themed, richly philosophical, a little dirty and not afraid to be silly. robbins' language is reliably lush and off-beat. oh, and i loved the commentary about art and art scenes.

This book will always have a place in my heart because it is the first Robbins book I read. I've read everything since and know of very few authors who can turn a phrase like Robbins. To say the very least, everything he writes is a true feast in word usage and story.

HA!! What a literary trip this story is! Tom Robbins at his absolute best, whatever that means! Each page is filled with such beautiful prose that I felt as though I were examining a piece or art, not simply reading a book. Ironic in that the book is primarily about the importance of a...more...

This has to be one of the smartest, most creative works of fiction I've ever read. Add to that funny, poignant, deeply philosophical. And for all its frenetic energy, none of it is superfluous. I honestly don't understand the criticisms of the work. They seem to be either from people who...more...

The thing that makes Tom Robbins thrilling is the way he declares absolute truths, bestows significance to the overlooked, and dismisses everything else with complete and unarguable disdain. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was so right on that my best friend tattooed the pin-up on its cover to her ar...more...

i hope to live for many, many more years and read each and every day of my life, but i never expect to read anyone remotely like tom robbins. i think it is safe to say that there is no one out there that writes like this man. he's quirky, funny, cerebral, bizarre. but mostly, and most importantly...more...
