I am just finishing up Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins.... Anyone out there have any good ideas for another book to read?

Sill Life With Woodpecker Just Another Roadside Attraction Even Cowgirls Get the Blues If you're done with Robbins-try anything by Anthony BUrgess.

Even Cowgirls Get The Blus was brilliant!! Bryce Courtney writes amazing books..The Power Of One, April Fool's Day, Out Of The Frying Pan..all based in real life..his.

When I find an author I identify with-I read everything they have written Clockwork Orange is an exercise. Try the Two-Hundred Year Old Man by Burgess...it's a hoot. If you have read Catch-22, get the sequel Heller wrote "Closing Time."

cool. I do the same thing... once I find an author I like, I read everything I can. Have you read any Augusten Burroughs? At points I was laughing so hard!! I will check out Bryce Courtney.

Hey Jess! Courtney is excellent! Like John Irving-all of his early stuff was autobiographical in nature, then with "Cider House Rules" he pounded out an excellent tale straight from his narrative gift! Great section in "A Widow For One Year" set in Amsterdam-makes me think of Alex. Phillip Roth and Saul Bellow-two more of my fav's.
