<div> Has anyone heard the Brautigan record? I work at a thrift store and an old vinyl copy came in today. I have never heard it. I want to buy it but I think the price on it is going to be WAY out of my league. <br/> On the back I saw that it was read by other people. Is that true or am I misunderstanding it. <br/>If you have listened to it, will you let me know what you think?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>....what are YOU gonna do about it? i just posted a link to one of his stories (What Are You Going To Do With 390 Photographs of Christmas Trees?) on of my tribes...Finders and Scavengers, to which you're all invited. <br/>i'd be hard pressed to pick one favorite Brautigan book but The Tokyo-Montana Express is a contender, as is The Abortion...when i first read it, the description of this unusual library where anyone can come in off the street &amp; donate unique handmade books made me wish that such a place really existed...so that when i found out years later that some people have gotten inspired to start such libraries (which are now called "brautigan libraries")...it made me very happy! <br/> <br/>2 more questions: who's the moderator here? (just curious.) and...who here besides me has read Ianthe's (Richard's daughter) memoir You Can't Catch Death? i like it very much.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Hey all you Brautigan fans. Here is a link to a song (.mp3) that my band the Charms wrote and recorded back in 1989 in tribute to Watermelon Sugar. Listen carefully to the end of the song and you will hear Richard himself speaking. <br/> <br/>Watermelon Sugar: http://www.thecharms.com/mp3/TheCharms_WatermelonSugar.mp3 <br/> <br/>Feel free to download the song and share it if you wish. Also, let me know what you think. <br/> <br/>- Rusty</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Berkeley, CA: The Bancroft Library Press, 1995. <br/>Limited Edition; 50 numbered copies.

<div>I'm curious which authors other Brautigan fans enjoy. <br/> <br/>One of my other favorite authors (ignoring sci fi for the <br/>moment) is Steinbeck.

<div>I'm currently reading this. What are people's opinions about it? <br/> <br/>Personally, I like it but I feel its oddly revealing (and at times obviously unpolished). I'm about half-way through the book and it seems like its a meditation on death (with his friend's suicide and his visit to the Japanese cemetery). Its hard to read it as a piece of "fiction".</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I was turned on to RB on a road trip, stranded in Albequerque, NM on a scalding hot day. We took refuge in the UNM library and I read Troutfishing In America in one sitting. I've been hooked ever since. I have The Edna Webster collection of undiscovered writing and An Unfortunate Woman, both of witch I refuse to finish, because after them, there's no more. I just finished living in San Francisco's North Beach where there are myriad remembrences of RB. Now I'm in Idaho. Time for some trout fishing. <br/>Med</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I just forwarded my home page to my first friend (Suzie Poppins) and we were surprised to discover we are both Brautigan fans. We were thinking about starting a Tribe called "Still in Watermelon Sugar" and then I searched just for the heck of it to see if there was already a group. Good thing! <br/> <br/>As I was saying to Suzie, I was introduced to Brautigan's work around 1989; I associate him with reading "In Watermelon Sugar" in a Millbrae, California pancake house. My favorite books are "The Hawkline Monster", "The Abortion" and "Dreaming of Babylon". <br/> <br/>I wonder how many libraries have been created along the lines of the one in "The Abortion"? <br/> <br/>Has anyone read his daughter's book? <br/> <br/>Nice meeting you, <br/> <br/> Don</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://RichardBrautigan.tribe.net">Richard Brautigan</a> - 4 replies </div>
