The Joshua Tree is to music as Skinny Legs And All is to fiction.
One of the top all time best fiction books ever. I try to imagine being in the mind of Tom Robbins. He's a renaissance man if I ever knew one, with knowledge and interests that span across the worlds, and he touches them all in this hysterically funny, spiritual, romantic book of intertwined stories.

A polarizing book.
It seems to me that Tom Robbins books are hit or miss. This book is one of the more polarizing titles. However, I think its gotten a bad rap. Considerably shroter than most of his books, I think its enjoyable as a quick read. I guess some people want and expect something longer from Robbins. I was a little set-off by the beastiality scenes early in the story. But you really have to ...

An amazing story that actually comes together at the end!
This book is one long trip. You'll be confused and you'll be amazed, and you'll question everything that you know...and then it all concludes in a neat little package. I am OBSESSED with this book and have been since my friend Tracy made me read it 15 years ago. Finding the formula will become your obsession. In short, read this book. And someone please make a movie.

Imaginatively Incredible
This is the first and, so far, is also the only book of his I've read, and it blows my mind nobody has reviewed it. One of the best books I've ever read. Hilarious, intelligent, thought-provoking, hysterical, creative... Definitely worth the read and I'll be looking into more of his books soon enough.

Robbins & Ducks
Tom Robbins has been a favorite writer of mine since the 70's. However, I was only aware of his fiction. In Wild Ducks, I found a whole new genre of his writings and musings. Some essays, some reports, some simply not available for a pigeon hole but all highly entertaining. If you have been a long term fan of Tom Robbins, you owe it to yourself to read this book.

a slightly mad take on a crazy idea about an unthinkable notion
There's an entire whirlpool of madness in this now antic novel. Plots start, develop, then drift away only to reappear in the middle of others. Hints are dropped and left. The story involves an accidental monk who trains to be an assassin and in the catacombs discovers the body of this fellow Jesus. Multiple narrators, reliable and un-, and a happy mix of sex and drugs and slapstick with ...

Tragedy & Farce: How the American Media Sell Wars, Spin Elections, and Destroy Democracy

A national disgrace
The war is a tragedy and the media coverage of the 2004 presidential election was a farce. That is part of what Nichols and McChesney are telling us in this very readable and important book. More saliently they warn that unless the media reassumes its responsibility to tell the truth about how our government operates and about what it is doing that it hides from us, there is a danger that our ...

new rendition of timeless tale
Beautifully translated, evoking the majesty in the simple story of a man in his lifelong journey towards the attainment of Enlightenment. Melodic in its tone but true to the original German Susan Bernofsky's translation has set a new standard among the various English translations currently available. As many times as I have read and enjoyed Siddhartha over the years (about 10 or so readings) ...

Lady vampires and bodies buried dark and deep
I am a big fan of the Graphic Classics series, and I am an even bigger fan of the anthologies, such as "Horror Classics" and "Adventure Classics". The anthologies give us a chance to read some great tales by authors who may not be prolific enough to rate their own individual books, but who have still made a powerful and influential contribution to literature. As expected, this latest ...

Siddhartha (Modern Library Classics)
Hermann Hesse
Modern Library
, 2007
In the novel, Siddhartha , a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom. From the Paperback edition.
