Why can’t the house have legs and walk to them? For that matter, what if everything had legs? With her imagination running wild—and visions of worms with wiggly toes, rakes that jump into leaves, rolls that rock, and other high-stepping surprises—will a little girl’s legs get the boost they need to carry her the rest of the way?

Download or read book Skinny Legs and All written by Tom Robbins and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2003-06-17 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across the street from the United Nations.... It sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins this gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative novel, in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine--while the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe fall away, one by one, like Salome's veils. Skinny Legs and All deals with today's most sensitive issues: race, politics, marriage, art, religion, money, and lust. It weaves lyrically through what some call the "end days" of our planet. Refusing to avert its gaze from the horrors of the apocalypse, it also refuses to let the alleged end of the world spoil its mood. And its mood is defiantly upbeat. In the gloriously inventive Tom Robbins style, here are characters, phrases, stories, and ideas that dance together on the page, wild and sexy, like Salome herself. Or was it Jezebel?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Shadows of Berlin is, in part, a bleak chronicle of life in a Europe growing ever more hostile at the edge of World War II. More than that, these stories offer glimpses into a community and a world now lost. They are also, in part, parables of modern life, drawing as much on the transformative possibility of scripture as they do on gritty depictions of the Berlin street.

Download or read book Mary out O the Earth written by John Stchur and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-03-23 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Out O' the Earth is the story of a forty-year-old widower named David Rigert who falls in love with a woman who is not at all who—or what—he believes her to be. She is, in fact, only half human. It is a story that hopefully captures the awful essence of what it must be like to wake up in dawn’s early light, turn to the spouse or lover lying next to you . . . and just catch, peripherally, a fleeting glance of a really wicked set of three-inch fangs receding back into your beloved’s gums. But Mary doesn’t know that she is half beast or that she has a half-alien mind and possesses enormous physical strength beneath her porcelain curves and red-hair beauty. She doesn’t know she is programmed to kill—and worse, to love —so that the imperatives of an alien world might be fulfilled. Or that her "other" self can quash her good half at will—down, down . . . until all that remains when she awakens are its malevolent ghostly footprints on her soul. She doesn’t know, but she will learn. And that is when the internal screams begin.
