- Danked - 05-13-2003 I'm rereading Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins. Has to be my favorite book by him. I started it this morning at work in between customers and I'm on page 140 now. I can't recall whatever became of the Can O' Beans in the story. Poor him/her. - Goatweed - 05-13-2003 I'm not reading anything these days, I could use a good book. I'm eagerly awaiting the remaining Dark Tower books, however. - Suzie - 05-13-2003 Good-bye Columbus.

Seeking to avenge the murder of his father by the Earl of Warren, he follows the trail of the earl to New York City. On board ship, Cormac befriends African slave Kongo, and once in New York, the two join a rebellion against the British. After the rising is quelled, mobs take to the streets and Kongo is seized. Cormac saves Kongo from death, but is shot in the process. His recovery takes a miraculous turn when Kongo's dead priestess, Tomora, appears and grants Cormac eternal life and youth-so long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan, thus the "Forever" of the title. What follows is a portrait of the "city of memory of which Cormac was the only citizen." Cormac fights in the American Revolution, sups with Boss Tweed (in a very sympathetic portrait) and lives into the New York of 2001 you remeber what you read in 7th grade :thumbs-up: nice - Suzie - 05-13-2003 Yeah that's a racy one! All I remember is that her loverboy was Michael and his penis was named Ralph. |
