finished fierce invalids

Ok, so, wow, I finished my long lost reunion with Tom Robbins book: "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates," and I am extremely pleased to be back on the Tom Robbins wagon.  Sometimes people use the phrase "a heady brew indeed," and I can't think of a better place to slop down this overused but extremely appropriate cliche.  Heady.  Exciting.  Adventurous.  Sensual.  Travel the world and experience several interesting drugs from your own sofa.






I just got another Tom Robbins book in the mail: Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas.   I'm in the middle of rereading Douglas Adams' "Restaurant at the End of the Universe," but I can't wait to jump in as soon as I'm through lathering on this particular brand of British sci-fi sarcasm.

Essential Thor

I'm still in the middle of "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates"  by Tom Robbins, but man oh man, I just got my first Marvel comics "Essential" order in the mail from Amazon the other day, and I  just HAD to crack a few pages on Essential Thor Vol. 4.  Wow, this stuff is mind blowing!  I'm finally on my way to becoming a hard core Kirby fan.  Everyone always talks about how big and awesome his stuff is, and I am seeing why they are totally, totally right!!

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates

So, I'm getting pretty deep into Tom Robbins' "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates."  It is the first non sci-fi / fantasy / horror I have read since high school, I guess, and I was a little nervous about jumping in without that nerdy-geeky crutch.  Oh man am I glad I took the plunge!  This is an awesome book.

His books are always broiled up with a full serving of sexual energy and off-beat wording that really pound thrillfully and relentlessly at the unprotected pleasure centers of the noggin, and this book is no exception.  You can really feel an energized love of the English language, a zany playfulness with a corny-horny serious core. 

I'll post more later. For now, I'll just say that I recommend it whole heartedly AND hole heartedly.  It is changing my life AND providing a bounty of exciting entertainment along the way.
