The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan
The Last Werewolf

Elizabeth R, July 21, 2011

I thought that I'd had enough of this genre of werewolves and vampires. This book has proven me wrong. It is witty, sexy, wincingly gory in beautifully written detail, and narrated by the most well read and articulate werewolf in history.

Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins
Villa Incognito

Elizabeth R, July 21, 2011

Do you love Tom Robbins? Did you crave beets after reading Jitterbug Perfume? Villa Incognito will make you want to research and surround yourself with all things chrysanthemum. If you are unfamiliar with Tom Robbins, then read this book and open yourself to the layers and magic that you inhabit when you read his work!

Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins
Skinny Legs and All

Elizabeth R, May 24, 2009

My favorite book from one of my favorite authors, Skinny Legs and All contains wisdom, humor, spirituality, and a talking spoon. It's really fairly indescribable other than it's wonderful and you will be a better person after reading it.

Sunnyside by Glen David Gold
Sunnyside

Elizabeth R, May 24, 2009

Sunnyside takes some perseverance because it IS very confusing at first. The payoff is worth it though, as this is a novel filled with wonderful moments that transport you back to a different time with characters that you come to understand and care about as you find the rhythm of the book.
