I owe this, my one and only Tom Robbins experience, to a monthly book club. I'll admit it -- I didn't finish it. At the time of our meeting, I had only 20 or so pages left. And since that time I just can't bring myself to finish it. I just don't care. I usually feel a dutiful responsibility to finish every book I start, let alone one I've invested myself into for several hundred pages. But I just have no inspiration to finish it.I found it tedious and full of tangential diatribes on one subject or another. I'm told this isn't one of Robbins' best books. It'll be awhile before I'm willing to invest my time in giving him another try.
