Tom Robbins! Tom Robbins! Has a new book out! I'm gonna go get that, right now! If you are unaware of Mr. Robbins, you gotta get hip kid, this guy is awesome. He has pretty much cornered the market on being awesome since the early '70s. You may be somewhat aware of a movie with Uma Thurman from the early '90s called, Even Cowgirls get the Blues. It was directed by Gus Van Zant and it was adapted from a Tom Robbins novel. It was shit. If you watch it and aren't familiar with Tom Robbins, you might think he's a science fiction writer or something. Truth is, his books are romantic, philosophical and utterly hilarious. He points out the nuances we all stare dead in the eye everyday and never pay any mind to. I recommend starting with Still life with Woodpecker, it's great! Then Jitterbug Perfume, that one is awesome too.
Look at him, homeboy is 70 years old and still looks cool. Must be all that pacific northwest air.
