You know, a while back, I told my sister to read Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. She started to, acted like she loved it, and then she never finished it. It was long time before she even admitted that she wasn't really into it.
Later on, I recommended that she read Invisible Monsters, and she ignored me. Then she read Fight Club and loved it. So go figure.
I actually think that Robbins and Palahniuk are kind of similar.
One time, I read a description of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues that called Bonanza a lesbian and the Countess a transvestite, and I was surprised.
I read Choke in 9th grade after I stole it off my friend's shelf and was amused but in all honesty I didn't reflect on much freshman year. It was kind of like 'oh that was nice, now it's over.' I then read Lullaby during the summer and I liked the chopiness and the syntax. I couldn't keep focused however and never found myself engrossed in the book. Finally I took one last stab at Chucky P with Invisible Monsters (I did my Book About Book in Margolis' class on it!), and I was honestly glad it was over when it was
( ... )
I've heard a lot of terrible shit about Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas, but it was actually one of the ones that I enjoyed most. I would recommend that one. But I think Jitterbug Perfume, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Another Roadside Attraction are the best. I really need to reread a few of those.
And I definitely understand what you're saying about those "one or two sentences/paragraphs." In either case, I try to read through full chapters before stopping because they're less effective if you lose that momentum.
And what struck me as odd was that the narrator describes the Countess' clothes, and it's pretty much always a suit. I think Robins' point would've been altered if the Countess had been a transvestite.
well my cousin has been here for the past week and a half and domo doesn't like him, so i couldn't come with him, he just left like 3 days ago, so now i just gotta come, lol
