    agreed. It was read to me ~ by dear one now passed; however, since the last couple years, reminders of relevance from the book keep appearing in life , and i am grateful. ( the lighten up aspect can sometimes bring tears, because the trickster-archetype naturally highlights where our world ( view ) has lost room for levity of spirit. ( our true nature ) . The only other writing i find this ( skillfull laughing absurdity 🌈) moment within, are interactions of don juan and carlos ~ with don juan's friend, Genaro. Those two and their antics with carlos ~ They are the only ones who are real to me in the way that t. robins and this story are. This is all about unseating the 'ordinary mind' and making the ( one's ) view wide and open. ~ I now think that it was no coincidence that jitterbug perfume was read to me along side translated works of Tibetan spiritual masters. I believe we love Robins because he uses to the most mundane along with the most wonderous .. contained within time, culture and space to sort out the essence ~ the rare purfume ~ what is the ultimate essence: the endless interplay of the form and formless which are in an endless love song, love story.. why and how we exist.. so, dear, your favorite book is probably a doorway, not a wall 🌼🙏🏼🤍 I'm looking forward to reading it again; I'm sure i will hear my loved one's voice in it, reminding me : Lighten up !

I've never thought of narrative RPGs filling the role of fantasy novels before...what an interesting comparison! I know now where your nephews get their love of gaming (and it certainly wasn't from me!) I'm super impressed that you've played all these JRPGs...I tried a Final Fantasy game once, and although beautiful, it was way, way, way too complicated for me. 😀 - Tammy L.

They’re all quite different but those were all written closest together and I think there are some through lines there at least in terms of the feel.

    Long live the Mangelwurzel!!! I read this book every couple of years, just so I can have that closeness feeling to it, that you spoke about at the beginning of your video. You also seem to express some hesitancy about sharing, for fear of other people not understanding. When I was little and feeling that way, my mom had a phrase she would say, and it always brought a smile to my face. It didn't solve anything, but it picked up my spirits. The phrase: "Pee on their bald heads, even if they ain't bald" (It worked every time.)

    Still Life… was my first. I worked at a restaurant where a customer left a very well-loved copy (read as: held together with packing tape and hope) and one of the servers read it, loved it, and started a chain where after a year, basically everyone had read it. I was the last, and happened to leave just as it was my turn. I still have it. We all smoked camel lights, and were in our early 20s, basically the perfect substrate for Robbin’s charming prose to grow. I have since read all of his books. I agree with basically all of your points. My fav is probably Skinny Legs and All. Every time I pass a random spoon on the sidewalk, I think of it and smile to myself.

Jitterbug Perfume would seem a great fit for the 'Adult's Bedtime Story' Looking further, I was baffled at the lack of an actual audiobook version. I don't often use audiobooks, as I need to read at my own pace and skip back to reread certain things, and my mind will wander and I will miss sections, and usually fall asleep.
