What An Imagination

I know there is another thread about this somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

"A Salty Piece of Land" has been sitting here, I just haven't wanted to read it. Now I read a few chapters each night, and I'm astounded. What a wild imagination ... where do all these crazy scenarios come from? And how he connects all these characters to the story line is amazing. I remember seeing him in an interview (Ellen?) where he said that he tries to write a page a day.
I understand that he doesn't want this book to be taken very seriously, and from my standpoint, it won't. But very entertaining ... I love all the phrases that highlight a song title. Tully and Willy are my very favorite fantasy heroes!

He does have an amazing imagination. I love it. I'm also in the process of reading A Salty Piece of Land in between my college reading... I like it much better than my homework though. haha I love how there are certain phrases or references to songs throughout the reading, I laugh hysterically everytime I pick up the book. Normally I can ignore who the writer is and read a book just for what the book is, but not with jimmy I always picture him sitting there laughing as he writes these crazy things!

Happy Reading!

Wow, Sweet Melissa. You may want to scale down the avatar before one of the mods suggests it more firmly.

I know exactly what you mean. Every time he writes something about the poodle ranch, I can't help but smile.
