See the review of 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues'. ( )

DNF at p62 because it was due at the library and so far all it involved was sex, sexualizing, some objectification, and more sex, and y'know, I'm just not that interested.

I was assigned this book to read for my Humanities 130 class, about world’s religions a few semesters ago, and despite the fact that it too me nearly a year to finally get al the way through it, I wish that I had finished it during that semester, because my paper on it would have been so much better. But obviously I’m not meaning to talk about school.

This book is absolutely fantastic. I was sceptical about it to begin with, partly because one of the positive reviews on the back was from Playboy. Also, its unconventional and odd and eccentric… But it’s also beautiful. It’s surprisingly insightful and absolutely poetic. Tom Robbins is brilliant, and while I’m scared to say that I want to read more of his books in fear of being let down by them, I certainly intend to try.

This book is about a thousand different things. Its about art and beauty and sex. Its about religion and spirituality. Its about racism and toleration and j life. I really have no complaints about this book, I have nothing bad to say about it, and unless you have a problem with poetic imagery, brilliance, and intelligent ideas (and a few references to sex, but its not exactly dirty), I would completely suggest reading this one. Its so different, and I feel like I keep saying it, but it is beautiful.
