A story about "Skinny Legs and All" — 5 years ago
the best tom robbins book there is, i think, and i should know. i’ve read them all except for villa incognito.
A story about "The American Dream and Zoo Story" — 5 years ago
i liked the zoo story, but not the american dream. once i wrote a paper on the zoo story. it was a good paper, i thought.
A story about "Still Life with Woodpecker" — 5 years ago
still life is a good way to get into tom robbins. like skinny legs, it’s him at his weirdest, but it’s a bit shorter and doesn’t meander quite as much.
A story about "The Secert History By Donna Tartt" — 5 years ago
i’d never heard of donna tartt before a guy i was dating told me i should read the secret history. as it turned out, donna tartt was the best thing to come out of that relationship.
A story about "The Great Gatsby" — 5 years ago
the best last line of any book i’ve ever read. “and so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
A story about "Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer 1943-1954 by Jeffrey Cartwright" — 5 years ago
edwin mullhouse is the best fictional biography about an eleven-year-old boy told from the point of view of another eleven-year-old boy written by a pulitzer-prize-winning author ever. i can say that with confidence because it’s probably the only one.
A story about "The Hours" — 5 years ago
i’m glad it’s possible to read and enjoy the hours without having read mrs. dalloway, because the mrs. and i have never quite clicked. also, in english-major world, it is a source of pride to own a pre-movie-poster copy of a book like this (c.f. all the pretty horses).
A story about "The Barnum Museum: Stories (American Literature Series)" — 5 years ago
every one of these short stories floors me with its originality, vividness, and believability despite the fact that most of them are about imaginary friends, mermaids, and colonel mustard getting it on with miss scarlet.
