And speaking of books, I'm reading Still Life With Woodpecker, and enjoying it quite a bit. I was trying to figure out how I had missed it, and then realized it came out in 1980, when I was a university student, and adjusting to life in the US after Spain, and coming to terms with Ronald Reagan being elected. Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm liking it so much; remembering 1980 as the best and the worst of times...Thanks Bryan & co., for telling me about it.

I love it. I read Still Life with Woodpecker back in the early 80's, just out of college maybe. I used to love Tom Robbins.
Tom Robbins constantly amazes me with how he uses words. Not so fond of some of his ideas (Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas; male chauvinist pig), but love his words.
