My personal favorite novel of his is Jitterbug Perfume. It came into my life around the time I started learning about eastern thought in healthcare, which ties in with that book's themes nicely.

I would recommend either that one, Skinny Legs and All, or Still Life with Woodpecker. They all showcase that wacky Robbins wordplay at its best, and poke fun at some aspects of our culture many people accept without much questioning.

Let me know if you decide to read any of his stuff! I'm currently making my way through his autobiography, among others. I'm a three-topics-at-once kind of reader.
