Villa Incognito 99 reviews
Tom Robbins
Bantam, 2004
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.

Clown Girl: A Novel39 reviews
Monica Drake
Hawthorne Books, 2007
Dark, Dank and Delicious
+ Depressing, hilarious, unconventional, and universal all at once
+ Funny concept, great voice
Recently I read somewhere that great novels aren't written anymore - certainly it's true that great novels aren't often published anymore. but Clown Girl stands as a shiny exception. Through spare dialogue, brutal imagery and divine comedy Drake pulls the reader into a vivid world that is ...

The Menstruating Mall27 reviews
Carlton Mellick III
Afterbirth Books, 2005
Fun, satirical, read
+ Read this instead of Stephen King
+ One of Mellick's best
I read this book in between my college classes. It is fast paced and fun to read and made me laugh out loud about a dozen times. The characters are hilariously stereotypical but definitely that way by design. This book has definitely surreal moments and circumstances, as the title mentions, the ...

Pussy, King of the Pirates (Acker, Kathy) 8 reviews
Kathy Acker
Grove Press, 1996
the best Acker
+ Brilliant!
Kathy Acker is, in my opinion, the best avant-garde author who ever existed, and "Pussy King of Pirates" is her greatest work--topping even "Empire of the Senseless"--which is too bad that it was her last. following the exploits of girls seeking treasure, Pirate girls, and surreal avatars of ...

+ Finished it on an airplane...really cool! (Actually "in")
+ You will know her
First, an anecdote:
I taught this text a few years ago in a fiction class at a mediocre university in the south. In short, it completely polarized the students. The smart kids almost all loved it and the idiots HATED it--some of them turned in hilarious papers where they railed about the ...

It all begins with this book...
+ my favorite book
+ My guilty pleasure
Sadly, this wasn't the first VCA book I ever read, but when I got around to this, I was not disappointed. It is easily one of the best books I have ever read. The drama, the intrigue, the suspense... I have read this book several times and never get tired of it.

Unadulterated Cat19 reviews
Terry Pratchett
Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2002
Even cat haters will probably love this book.
+ Great book for cat lovers and Terry Pratchett fans
I'm amazed that there are any people out there who don't love this book. Pratchett, the funniest writer in English of the past century (even considering Wodehouse), takes on the orneriest species of the planet. Because it's a little coffee-table book, of course it won't have the depth and span of ...

Worth the wait
+ Later than expected but not too late...
+ For anyone who likes a good Mythery!
This is a re-release of the comics and graphic novels from 20 + years ago. Mine were destroyed 20 years ago so I am glad to have them again. While this graphic novel does not follow the Another Fine Myth book perfectly, it is still well written and illustrated. The humor is great, and though ...
