Wild Ducks Flying Backwards - Tom Robbins

This quote wurde hinzugefügt von weesin
Serious reading is hardly a social activity and every halfway serious reader is perpetually subject to a form of coitus interruptus. Family members or friends who lack the desire or courage to burst in on you when there's some indication that you could be sexually entwined will seldom hesitate to interject themselves between you and a page, even though the act of reading is often as intimate and intense as a full-fledged carnal embrace. You must take steps to ensure your privacy.

Sucks you didn't like Philip Roth, but I agree, he can meander

But do try Tom Robbins. I assure you that his writing style is nothing like Philip Roth's. I enjoy all of Tom Robbins books, however, I think my favourites are Skinny Legs and All and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

If you're curious what his writing style is like, I think you can pull up all the quotes that I've contributed by selecting my username....I've posted quite a few quotes from Tom Robbins books.....you can get a feel for his writing style so you can see if you find it as amusing as I do

That's the only Philip Roth book I've read and I didn't think it was for me. The guy meanders a lot, writes well but is pretty grim.

I'll check out Tom Robbins though.

I would highly recommend anything by Tom Robbins....he's my favorite author and, to date, I've gotten 19 of my friends/colleagues absolutely hooked on his work.

I also quite enjoy Philip Roth. If you go this route, I would suggest that you read Sabbath's Theatre - all of his books are great, but this one is by far my favorite

If you happen to give either a try, please take a moment and let me know what you think!

Happy reading!

I read quite a lot actually, any recommendations?

No, it would not be a joke. Clearly you haven't read anything truly captivating in your life

He must be reading some pretty kinky books for that to be the case.

This might be the most inept, nerd-statement I have read. I hope it is a joke.
