![]() I realized I didn't hate reading, I just wasn't picking the right books (honestly you can thank the public education system choosing the absolute worst books for youth to read). ![]() Around 19 or 20, I was given Another Roadside Attraction and my world changed. I was one of those kids who hated reading. Tom Robbins holds a very special place in my heart for being the author that got me into reading. His stories are fun and whimsical and I wish he would just stick to male protagonists and not overly sexualize women the way he does in every. It is impossible for me to go on reading his works without feeling a tinge of disgust. ![]() As a woman I cannot relate to the things he writes or the way he describes women (including women he doesn't find attractive, i.e. Most of his novels are written from a "female perspective" and it reads more like some dude's weird fantasy of women. TL DR - He is another "man writes about woman" author. ![]()
