alright, been through ALL of his books. some several times. you know what i'm sayin.
so got anything that can substitute to read while we wait on another enlightening moment? or anything that will make us Laugh AND Think?
I read something called : The Gospel of Biff: Christ's Childhood Friend. (for the life of me at 2 am i can't think who wrote that. but it was damned funny and an interesting spin on Christ's abilities.)
thats it. thats all i got.
right now... maybe i will think of something later. help us out.
1 luv, t.

You might enjoy T.C. Boyle. He's got a sense of humor and a fun way to turn a phrase.

Wed, November 2, 2005 - 5:19 PMAnd of course...who can forget good ole Douglas Adams..
even though he was on the producing board of the movie until he died...it did not do his first book justice. I wonder if they plan on making movies out of 'em all? -

Re: books/ Authors- Sorta Like Tom Robbins?
Wed, November 2, 2005 - 9:16 PMThe author/essayist Andrei Codrescu is right-in there on the whole "People of zee wurl relax!" ethos. In fact, I think he and TR are actually personal friends. -

Re: books/ Authors- Sorta Like Tom Robbins?
Sun, October 15, 2006 - 8:21 PMOkay, not really like TR at all, but I LOVED David Sedaris "Me Talk Pretty One Day".
I was reading it on a short flight somewhere and literally crying because I was laughing so much. The guy in the seat next to me said, "I can't take it anymore! Please tell me what you're reading so I can go buy it when we land!!"
Hilarious book
