> MY VOTE FOR NEXT BOOK: "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins is second only to John Updike on my list of the world's shittiest 
authors that enjoy critical acclaim.  I read Still Life a couple years back -- 
maybe it deserves another read on my part.  Maybe that acid reflex will 
subside the second time around.  Sorry, that's not a very intelligent critical 
analysis of the guy's work, but he turns me off in the way that jehovah's 
witnesses turn me off.  Keep your mysticism off my body.

But I have no problem making this the next book club selection.  In fact, I'm 
encouraged to use this book since I dislike it so strongly;  I'm tired of 
exerting so much control of the zine content.

On the other hand, I've read it, you're reading it, I know Adam has read it, 
and I believe Jessie has too.  If everyone has read it, I don't see why we 
should select it.

Comments?
