Anyone here a fan?
I haven't read a Robbins book I haven't totally loved.
My favorites are Skinny Legs and All,Half Asleep in Frogs Pajamas,and Jitterbug Perfume.

yay.. I thought I was the only weirdo. How can you not like an author who uses a conch shell, a spoon and a sock the main characters .

I read Still Life and adored it. Jitterbug is on my to read list. His writing style is so sweet and his perspective is completely refreshing.
