The easiest question is "What are you reading?" The hardest question is "Whats it about?" Maybe Im just not good at explaining a plot but people just nod their heads politely and the conversation ends. Maybe because its just plain HARD to talk like Tom Robbins. Conveying his ideas are like describing what love is. I describe that the book deals with the real idea of immortality and how to achieve it and also... perfume... that links three very different parties together. Thats not really the plot. Its just the simplest way I can put it but you can't get into Robbins' head until you open up the book for yourself.
Speaking of which, what a NUT. Don't get me wrong, I love nutcases, especially genius ones.
Reading this book, I am more sucked into the authors head than I am in the storyline. I can compare him to Mark Ryden in a way; you can paint a pretty picture but I am still sitting here wondering what on earth it all means.
