The following are some of my favorite books that I could think of off the top of my head. Hopefully you dig the list.
I love Terry Pratchett, and Good Omens was a fun read.
I lend:
Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart
Songmaster by Orson Scott Card
and Still Life with Wood Pecker by Tom Robbins
Tom Robbins, Still Life With Woodpecker. Follow the link and read the reviews.
You should read Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins.
"Still Life with Woodpecker is a sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads."
Tom Robbins is the shit.
Reminds me of that Tom Robbins book, Still Life with Woodpecker.
you should definitely check out his books! still life with woodpecker is a good place to start if you find the time.
Tom Robbins - Still Life with Woodpecker. Not the deepest book, but a lovely, beautiful story about "how to make love stay".
"A Peoples History" and "House of Leaves" are great!
It's absolutely criminal to see Tom Robbins absent from that list, if you haven't read him yet, do.
Some are better than others, but they all showcase his special humor, imagination and perception. My top three:
Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates
Still Life with Woodpecker
Jitterbug Perfume
Princess Leigh-Cheri from Still Life with Woodpecker

>"They observed her as she turned to go upstairs. They observed her as if it were the first time they'd really looked at her in years. Despite her pale color and the unhappiness that clung to her the way a bad dream clings to a rumpled pillowcase, she was lovely. Her hair, as straight and red as ironed ketchup, rode gravity's one-way ticket all the way to her waist; her blue eyes were as soft and moist as huevos rancheros, and the long curl of their lashes caused fimbrillate shadows to fall on the swell of her cheeks. She was not tall, yet the legs that hung out of her skirt seemed a tall woman's legs, and beneath her No-Nukes-Is-Good-Nukes T-shirt, her astonishingly round breasts jiggled ever so slightly, like balls balanced on the noses of Valium-eating seals."

Really, give it a read - it's great stuff - classic Tom Robbins. And I also have to say if you're a Seattle resident and haven't read Still Life with Woodpecker, you need to take that one in too.
You just told me not to come to the northeast until next (late!) summer, so I guess you have to come to NC and
hangmake out with me if you want to before that.P.S. That song is dope. I'm getting a tattoo based on my favorite book next fall. In a few short years, I'm gonna be covered in cute animal art.
Really dig this [one](http://www.amazon.com/Still-Life-Woodpecker-Tom-Robbins/dp/0553348973/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253576547&sr=1-3"It's never too late to have a happy childhood.").
