Also. Get that tattooed! I’ve seen some great ones with beets too.

So well said. I absolutely fell in love with Tom Robbins books in 2000. Everything you said resonated with me so much. Jitterbug Perfume is by far my favorite book I’ve ever read. It was honestly life changing to me when I read it. I’ve loaned it to so many friends (and have bought it over and over) but no one seems to like it like I do, which I don’t understand. But anyway, I get you!

I love this book ! I've read that years ago. God Pan ❤

My ONLY book!

DISCLAIMER: A printout version of the Thousand-Year Door OG Case Art was also made available via the My Nintendo Rewards Program, for 30 Platinum Points.

My favorite, also. A whale is not a fish!

Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas was my first read, been a die hard fan since 🐸

where is divinity 2 original sin for the switch one of the highest rated switch rpg games...

Unicorn Overlord came out after your video and I highly recommend it. Try the demo!

Great list! So many good HD 2D games and Tactics games coming out right now, Unicorn Overlord is such a huge W for both communities

I was hoping Persona to pop up, but solid pick anyways!

Xenoblade 1 is the goat of the series. Xeno 2... for mobile gacha people I guess, and xeno 3 is like what xeno 2 should have been; amazing!

If there's a JRPG I wish would come to the Switch, that's Dragon Quest VIII.

I started reading classics with my daughter and we are on our 16 classic. Of all the 16 my favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo

Fire Emblem Engage to me gets unnecessary heat. The gameplay is extremely fun, great music and amazing maps. The story is fine as is aswell it’s not the greatest but it’s still pretty good. I love how vibrant it is

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 !

Awh, Final Fantasy 7!! I will always have a fond place in my heart for that one as it's how I met you and others! Final Fantasy 8 is always my favourite though and no, I still haven't beat 9 🤣. This was a fun look at your perspective on JRPGs and you're so right, they are quite narrative and immersive like books!

Hello "present" Will and "future edit" Will! Wow...this video is super informative. 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.

After reading this I wanted a sunstrip with Alobar and a question mark on the passanger side . I couldn't find one as they had gone out of fashion.

New 📚 books can be written every day .

This review started me on the path with Tom Robbins. I've read Jitterbug Perfume and Still Life. What would be your recomendation next?

I just ordered it as I've been needing a book like this, thank you very much,.

I just looked through my book shelves; My favorite books are: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut; A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain; God Bless You Mr Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut; and Lost in the Barrens by Farley Mowat. O'Canada we stand on guard for thee !!

Taking things too seriously and not seriously enough: it's just like when the monk drops a turd in the main character's glass of milk.

And just in case, here's another enthusiastic comment!

This channel might just blow up!

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.)

Me Too. 🙏🏻

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.

Wow I've never encountered Tom Robbins novels, with all the Pynchon & Cormac McCarthy Craze going around. This Mr. Robbins must really be something for him to be your favourite.🤔 How about Vladimir Nabokov's PALE FIRE, have you come across this masterpiece?🤯

Absolutely my most favorite book ever.. as well🥰 It came out when I was 14 and now Im 54! Re-read it 4 or 5 times.. still the best..

Be kind, be honorable, and fear the collective. T.R. is funnier, kinder, and more hopeful than anyone has a right to be. Please be kind to your waitress.

The Zappa quote about books is cool. Great video, friend.

My all-time favorite author!! So ecstatic that you took on The Great T. Rob

It is my favorite too.

My fave too

Naples looks so lovely!! Happy Holidays you all ! 😊🍊

"it features a quirky and diverse cast" is something I believe can be applied to all of his books

how are things?- Thanks~ cool ,😉

Love that TH-cam recommended me this of all things : D D D

Cool video mate. This is one of my favourites as well, Tom Robbins books are like a Hendrix guitar solo . Winding, psychedelic adventures that open your mind.

i love Kudra.......😺

Eat beets everyday!

This place looks amazing! Glad you're having a good time!

What a fascinating place!

I did not realize he was born in Blowing Rock and grew up in VA!

Best book ever ❤

I have not read Jitterbug Perfume, but I think I need to now...

Wow! Beautiful!!! Looks like an excellent adventure.
