My favorite book in the world is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I have read it probably eight times since I first got it when I was 15.

It's really very sad, but I found great comfort in it. The main character struggles a lot with her relationship with her mother, which I did a lot growing up. Even though it isn't a "happy" story, it was so wonderful for me to find that there wasn't something wrong with me for not getting along with my mother! It also reminded me that no matter how bad my life was (or how bad I perceived it to be), I could always draw love from sources other than my mother. It really really really contributed to the person I am today!

Here is a penny book I would like - Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins :). Thank you for the contest <3

You've just listed some of my favorites. I've read Everything Murakami, Pratchett, and King have ever published (barring some brand new works, and the odd short story). One book I recommend to Murakami fans is Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids, by Kenzaburo Oe. It's been described as "Lord of the Flies meets The Plague", and that's fairly apt.

I think any Pratchett fan should read Tom Robbins, any of his works is worth picking up, but since I'm providing links go with Skinny Legs and All.

Cooperatives like this can be awesome but require trust and transparency to work. I am down if you want to talk further about this.

Dada: Zurich, Berlin, Hanover, Cologne, New York, Paris
This book is an incredible history and thoughtful critique of the Dada movement. If you think you don't like Dada, maybe a closer look is in order.

Skinny Legs and All
Wonderful wonderful fiction starring art!

I will search. If I only remembered. I would have said. Maybe the one with the characters Beet Bowl and Stick..

edit- gotcha. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0553377884/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

It is mentioned under "Description" on the page so this is The One. Title is Skinny Legs and All.
His description of the parallel mind process of being an artist is right-on amazing.
