| Discussion: Tim Sandlin JIMI HENDRIX TURNS EIGHTY CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER "Part Cuckoo's Nest, part Acid Test, and part Alamo, Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty shows us that to awaken the passion and idealism we thought flatlined at thirty, we need only to slip it a dose of sunshine and poke it with stick of sandalwood. Tim Sandlin takes us on a comic flashback to the future that can give you the giggles and the willies at the same time. What a trip! Pound for pound, Tim’s stuff is as tight and funny as anyone doing this comedy novel thing."-Christopher Moore - best selling author "I loved the book. It is so emotionally affecting, tender, and satirical. It is probably one of my favorites of yours — it's a wonderful read. I loved the character of Guy and found his story to be particularly heartbreaking."-Alix Madigan—Anonymous Content "This book is WONDERFUL. It struck such a chord in me. Its a little ahead of where I am but the questions are the same. I am not going to make sense with how I feel or how powerful and life affirming and sad and happy this book was for me but, I truly, deeply love it."-Mary Crosby "Tim Sandlin has long been one of our most engaging novelists and the new book proves that he has not lost his touch. It's a fine read, and its tone lingers."-Larry McMurtry "I started loving this book the moment I read the author's note and I never stopped. The ending is happy and sad and beautiful and as perfect as is possible in this imperfect world. We boomers are headed into the nursing homes soon enough; now we have something to read in the waiting room. Tim's comedy is, as always, sharp, stinging, and yet ultimately generous. In his hands the rhetoric and hopes of the sixties are simultaneously ludicrous and beautiful, his characters both ridiculous and admirable. And it's a page-turner!"-Karen Joy Fowler NY Times best selling author >>By Gripsnatch LINKS website: www.timsandlin.com pre-order new book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594489335/sr=8-1/qid=1155422096/ref=sr_1_1/104-8387018-0612719?ie=UTF8 yahoo! group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/timsandlin/ >>By Gripsnatch You are not logged in.
