All books are from Tom Robbins.
Jitterbug Perfume is my favorite by Robbins as well.
I wish, I had the rhetorical virtuosity to describe my emotions about this book in your language. It hurts, that I'm not able to... But I'm pleased, that you agree with me!
For what it's worth, I haven't seen anything in any of your posts that suggests English isn't your first language. And being able to use words like "rhetorical" and "virtuosity" puts you well ahead of the average American, vocabularily (see how freely I butcher my own language, for example :-).
Oh, that's so nice, really! But I have to look up many words in a dictionary, it's so *...lookup...* strenuous (I've never heard that word before). And there are many things in my language, that doesn't sound good in English, so I have to take other words or say it in a different way, so that sometimes the meaning of my words is not the same any more, you know? But I'm *...lookup...* grateful (oh, I should have known this one) for your compliment, and I hope, you will correct my faults, when they occure (I remembered this one without a dictionary, yeeehaaa)...
