- Since Hollywood has decided to produce "Cowgirls", I have been
- seeing more book jackets and Tom Robbins recs on book jackets lately.
- One book "Fool on the Hill" by Matt Ruff claimed to be a "cross
- between Tom Robbins and J.R.R. Tolkien. I enjoyed the book. It was a
- lot like "Jitterbug" and "Skinny Legs" - an epic.
-
- I received a book for Christmas called "Reality is What You Can Get Away
- With" by Robert Anton Wilson. It is "an illustrated screenplay" that
- has a quip by Tom Robbuns on the cover.
-
- Has anyone read this yet? I haven't started it yet. I am a little
- leary, since my mother hasn't had a great track record for her
- choice of books she gives me.
-
- Can anyone recommend any other books that are Robbins-esque?
