I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of Gooberz. So, as a way of pacifying my impatience, I have been reading bits about it on here...plus reviews. It is frequently said that to get through the book without weeping is impossible. I do not often cry, especially not over books or films so am wondering how likely this is for me. I hope it happens How many people here did?Another thing; how important is it to read Star Signs first? I will have to obtain a new copy if so because mine is buried in an attic as well as falling apart! I read bits but wasn't ready back then.

You'll understand the more esoteric parts better if you read Star Signs first. I dare say it's impossible to read Gooberz and not cry (both happy and sad tears), unless you're the tin man.------------------ "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

About five minutes after I wrote that entry I ordered a new copy of Star Signs Goodness, now I am even more intrigued by Gooberz. IP: Logged |

Don't let the size of Gooberz intimidate you. It reads very fast due to the poetic format of the words. Just take it one Canto at a time.------------------ "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." Charles Schultz IP: Logged |

The tears, yes! I went through my fair share of tissues! I remember how powerful some cantos were, even one line, would knock me over. IP: Logged |

Linda's loss of her children made me actually sob. And for Yellow Wax and the ants...------------------ "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." Charles Schultz IP: Logged |

You can never truly understand why we adore Linda so much until you read Gooberz. And for those who have read it, the connection is impossible to put into words.------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."
