Tom Robbins

Best author ever, without exception. Met mild fame when his second book "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" was made into a movie, but really didn't care. His books are seen as more a form of poetry than fiction by some, and not dependant on his twisted but brilliant plots. His writing style is simultaneously intellectual and immature, high-brow and low-brow, snobby and perfectly willing to dabble in all our human flaws.
