What I've read, I got the feeling that Erastide was later in the winter.
More like spring. I always thought more of it being an equalient to Easter.

I had a friend in the UK ship me a copy of DoF as soon as I knew it was out.  
I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I've now seen the US edition and I notice that the
cover art is different and the maps in the US edition are more detailed.  The 
cover art for the UK edition shows the battle with the Trolls and a mounted
figure (presumably Sparhawk) and the Styric mage (whose name escapes me).  The 
art is consistent with the previous hardbound editions.  The US edition shows 
a far more pastoral scene with Sparkhawk and Kalten(?) with others (drat I
don't remember who) and Mirtai and Kring off to one side and back a bit.  This 
are is more consistent with the Belgariad style artwork.  As I mentioned
before there is more detail in the US maps than in the UK maps.

Can anyone comment on these differences?

Still Life - a summary of tom's thought, with a few major exceptions
Compleat Shakespeare - master of the English language
Whose Justice, Which Morality (Alsdair MacIntyre) - summarizes much of the 
     philosophical thought from Homer to the present, along with very 
     brilliant methods of putting the varied views in perspective.
The Lover (marguerite duras) - an amazing story, full of beautiful thoughts on
     the idea and act of love.
Catch-22 - just to remember how bad things can get

The four seasons (vivaldi) for good reason
Operation Mindcrime - to find out if a person can get bored of it
a dead concert - reason obvious and stated by others.


this question was a good idea..  it'll get a little off the robbins tract,

Yup, re-read cowgirls at least.  I was bored the first fifty too, but I
don't like to say I'm bored until I read the last sentence.  Jitterbug
perfume is much better than cowgirls:  I am working on skinny legs, and
haven't yet read still life, but those will happen when they happen.

Okay, well.  I've only read Jitterbug Perfume, Skinny Legs, and half of 
Cowgirls (not for lack of interest, but my copy suddenly disappeared into 
an odd dimensional rift and I haven't gotten around to getting another), 
so I can't quite compare them all properly.  However, I agree that Skinny 
Legs was spellbinding, and I couldn't put it down.  Loved it.

Since I haven't (yet) read Still Life, it's hard to say if Jitterbug is 
better or worse.  I can say that I enjoyed it immensely.  And no, I 
didn't have much trouble getting into it.

I just finished _Jitterbug_.  Perhaps you haven't read enough
science-fiction.  I thought the content was well suited to be
categorized as such, and I've read other books with a similar
"feel" labeled "science-fiction".

Immortality, dematerialization, "new-age"y theories about
fragrance, DNA, after-death experiences, etc.  Standard SF fare.

Man is this ever a low-volume newsgroup!  I love Tom Robbins though,
so I'll keep checking it.

I read my first Tom Robbins book last summer.  I started out with
Still Life With Woodpecker and I absolutely loved it.  It took me
only 20 pages or so to get used to Robbins' style and I immediately
was taken by Robbins' original and unusual writing as well as the
plot and characters.

I wanted to leap right into the rest of his work, but ended up putting
down both Another Roadside Attraction and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
due to lack of interest.  I read about 50 pages of each and just didn't
get hooked- the style was still wonderful and the plot unusual but somehow
the magic of Still Life was missing.

Well, finally winter break is here and I have time to read again.  I'm
currently about 2/3 finished with Skinny Legs and All and it has me
totally spellbound.  Like Still Life, I'm sure it'll be right up there
among my all-time favorite novels.

So my question is: what next?  Did anyone else have trouble getting into
Roadside Attraction or Cowgirls?  How good is Jitterbug Perfume?  Do you
think his first two books would be worthwhile to try again if I didn't
enjoy their beginnings?

Thanks in advance... I'll also be more than happy to discuss Skinny Legs
and All with people.

	Why can't I take more than three records?

	Okay, I run by my bookshelf and grab five books.  That makes it
either five books on my shelf I haven't read, or five I want to read
again.  Or

1. Ulysses.  Maybe this way I'll finish it.

2. Finnegans Wake.  It was sitting next to Ulysses.  Let me get this
straight . . . I'm stuck forever on a deserted island, and I need
something to occupy me for the duration?  This one should do the trick.

3. Moby Dick.  I've only read it twice.

4. Something by Peter De Vries.  Let's see--The Vale of Laughter.  (It
starts out "Call me, Ishmael, call me anytime you like."  Goes well with
Melville, don't you think?)  Or the one where he does all the parody--I
think it was Into Your Tent I'll Creep.  It's got a nice takeoff on
Ulysses.  No, let's make it The Blood of the Lamb.  That's depressing
enough of a comic farce.

5. Potluck Pogo.  Kelly really picked me up with this one the time my
girlfriend ran off with another woman.  The table of contents is a poem.

3 records?

1. Abbey Road.
2. Till Eulenspiegl's Merry Pranks (see De Vries' Vale of Laughter).

   Hi Dave, this is Cheryl.  I first fell in love with Tom Robbins
because of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and the second book I read was
Another Roadside Attraction.  I loved both of them immediately.  Each
book has its own little gems, and perhaps one's philosophical bent might
predispose a person to prefer one book over another.  For instance, the
nature of Time is a recurrent theme in Cowgirls, and I've always been
interested in that.  If you appreciate Robbins, I would encourage you to
give Cowgirls and Roadside another look.  I'm finding the beginning of
Jitterbug Perfume to be somewhat less engrossing than past Robbins
offerings, but I suspect it's just me and the place I'm at rather than
Jitterbug Perfume itself.
   BTW, I live in Seattle.  We have enough room for you, come on over!

FYI, MUSH stands for Multiple User Shared Hallucination.
MUSHs are a type of online game using unix and telnet. In some ways its a lot
like a mulitple player version the old Infocom text adventure games, with
programming thrown in to make things fun. There are a lot of them out there 
based on a wide variety of things ranging from pure hack and slash D&D type ones
to purely social ones, which MythMUSH would probably be more like.

For more info try checking out rec.games.mud.announce, it has FAQ postings and
a list of most of the public MU*s.

anyway, being strapped for cash in thyth joyyth season, i bought the first
two.  i notythed something odd as i was browsing the bookstore's
asprin section (well, shelf).

1) none of the books lythted mythdirections under the ''other books''
heading. (well, i didn't check mythdirections itself, but i wouldn't be
surprised to find it mything)

2) mythconceptions says, on the front, ''author of phule's company''.
it says on the bask ''first time in paperback''.  i /know/ i had
