it was amazing

This is hands down my favorite book of all time. I wish I could give it more stars than five. It's written by a beat poet but sometimes feels more like Science Fiction crossed with stream of consciousness.
The first line of the book "In Watermelon Sugar, the deeds were done and done again, as my life is done in Watermelon Sugar." sets the mood of the book.
You're never really sure if it's all happening on Earth but in a different time or just in the mind of the author. The sun shines a different color everyday, there are talking tigers, missing things and bandits in this wonderful book.
What I like the most about it is the calm gentle interactions between the characters. They love potatoes and no one cares about much beyond the present. It's life like you imagine it with all the bullshit stripped away.
