>>6860785Too many books to call any one "the" favorite. I have a number across several categories.
For just a pure entertainment fantasy love story across several centuries ...
Tom Robbins gets too much credit in some circles, and is unfairly slammed in others. I don't particularly like a lot of his work, even if I do admire his talent and prose.
I do recommend Jitterbug Perfume as just fun and humorous entertainment, with an occasional deep edge here & there. One of the books I've gone back and re-read a number of times over the years.
