Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins

Author reminds me of my dad, saying so many things that just don't make sense yet with some really profound wisdom interspersed.

The most important subject that this book stirred in me was "how to make love last", and taking about what that exciting mystery is in new romances and what happens to it later on. Romance in solitude, romance in mystery, romance in new things and forgotten things. Overall hopeful, but with plenty of realism. Reminds us that the mystery will tempt us in "the next pair of eyes that smile at us". But in the end, as in real life, there is no single answer for how to make love stay.
