Tom Robbins, you're so kooky. I loved this book, you know. It is the first Robbins original that I've read. I liked the following...
1) Cherry Ellen Charles
2) that the can of beans was he/she
3)"Welcome to the modern world, Painted Stick."
4)"...knee high to a wiggle worm..." (I've heard of being as such to a pig's eye.)
5)"Money itself was incomprehensible. Almost from its inception, it had perplexed and befuddled those in whose lives it had appeared, and although they dealt with it on a daily, if not hourly basis, and although it worked in their every thought the way that yeast worked in bread, they were no closer to understanding it then they had been in the begginning...it clouded the vision of the world, yes, you guessed it, like a veil."
6)"It takes guts to file for bankruptcy of the imagination."
7)"In the past, she'd embraced the suffering artist image...but in her heart she had always considered artisthood more of a privilege than a curse, and those to whom the creative life brought only misery, she now invited to go into food service. The world could always use another waitress, another fry cook."
8)"If it is committed in the name of God or country, there is no crime so heinous that the public will not forgive it."
9)"As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. People will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty, and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes."
10) lots of other things including the language and the oddball characters like Turn Around Norman et al....less
