Tom Robbins
Still Life with Woodpecker
I won't bother with the usual cover as this is just a note to remind myself not to read Tom's books. I know that many like this style but after a few pages I guessed that this would be a fantasy type story (including the usual male sexual fantasy) with unlikeable or unrealistic characters and misogynistic descriptions of women under the guise of sexual liberation. Don't often put books down but life is too short to wade through stories that you are not enjoying. Having said all that he is a well known respected author so I'll pass the book to Oxfam as someone may enjoy it. A pubescent teenager. Possibly.
