Another Roadside Attraction | Tom Robbins

bailed

This book. Well. I usually never DNF anything but this book really was not for me at all. I read 70ish pages and it felt soooo long already. There is no real story, just random weird snippets. Don‘t get me wrong- I LOVE weird random snippets. But this felt so pointless, boring and pretentious. So, Iā€ve decided to give up. I have another Robbins book at home and hope that that one will be better.

TheBookgeekFrau This was not his best book at. All. Jitterbug Perfume was my favorite 1y

ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau good to know! I also have a copy of

Still Life with Woodpecker

TheBookgeekFrau @ju.ca.no I liked Still Life with Woodpecker. Highly bizarre and entertaining; but then again, all of his books are bizarre š‚ 1y

dabbe I bailed on it, too, for the exact same reasons! #hailtothebail! š¤©š¤©š¤© 1y

ju.ca.no @dabbe it was a really hars decision for me- I really almost never bailš… but it just didn‘t feel worth investing anymore timeš…š… 1y

ju.ca.no @TheBookgeekFrau I hope I like this one more! 1y

dabbe @ju.ca.no I bail a heck of a lot more than I used to. Time is valuable, and there are too many 5-star books out there still waiting to be read. š¤— 1y

ju.ca.no @dabbe true!! 1y

This me reading one of the weirdest books I have encountered on my roadtrip through Colorado.

Note: My riotgram challenge will be out of order. No reason, just becuase.

"And then the rains came. They came down from the hills and up from the Sound. And it rained a sickness. And it rained an odor. And it rained a murder. And it rained dangers and pale eggs of the beast...Soaking. Spreading. Penetrating. And it rained an omen. And it rained a poison. And it rained a pigment. And it rained a seizure." #Rain #QuotsyMarch18

JewelsEnd So... It rained? Lol. Sorry--for some reason this triggered my smart ass-itis . 7y

If this book isn‘t a Cult Classic it should be. Brilliantly weird, very fun read. I have a couple more books by Tom Robbins on my shelf waiting to be read. One day!

I felt like Amanda yesterday because I saw a monarch butterfly and almost cried. It's odd and magical how books can sometimes seep into your lived experience and imagination.

I love used books, but inevitably you cross paths with some awful person... š‚ #firstline #aprilbookshowers

Returning to this book, which I started while at Hilton Head Island almost a year ago and so wish I could continue reading at a beach right now. I can almost smell the salty air. *sigh emoji*
