Read or nap... read or nap...?!

(For the record, I slept in late and didn't make lunch, figuring I'd just get money from the ATM and buy something at the cafe... and then I found I'd left my wallet at home.)

(Just because I slept in doesn't mean I feel rested.)

(The book is the ever-awesome Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins.)

I'll let you know the outcome in about an hour.

what is with this tom robbins character?

saturday i'm browsing at the library, and i see a random book with skinny legs in the title, i take it down and say hmm, interesting. a book about skinny legs. i have skinny legs. but i put it back. that night i'm with some friends and they mention it as being really good. i think, that's funny, i just saw that book at the library today. and now it's on lj?

either way, i guess i'm checking it out next time.

I KEEP hearing about that book! I guess I'll probably break down and read it soon, too.

I had a hard time reading Robbins. His cleverness interrupts my enjoyment of the story he is trying to tell, which would be good if he wasn't littering the narrative with neon signs declaring wit. It's probably just me, but in Jitterbug he crossed a weird self-referential line and I was forcibly thrown out of the story several times because of it. It's a pity too, because I enjoyed the basic story and many of the descriptive passages.
