I've added him to my reading list.

I think Owen Meany is my favourite though!Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-36078253062393542272008-07-13T01:23:00.000-04:002008-07-13T01:23:00.000-04:00Yes, we do have to be ready for some books. When I was nine, my mother was boasting to her friends that I was reading Treasure Island. I don't know if she would have boasted quite so happily if she had realized how much of it was sailing past totally uncomprehended. I'm sure you got a little more out of Owen Meany than that. ;o)Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-64481231274448008442008-07-12T19:41:00.000-04:002008-07-12T19:41:00.000-04:00I read this a long time ago, and I think at the time, I was a little too young for this book--most of it went over my head. I may have to re-read this one at some point.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16108897586586146730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-44871251271073142892008-07-08T21:25:00.000-04:002008-07-08T21:25:00.000-04:00Good for you!Janna Qualmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-71008965175852871522008-07-08T13:39:00.000-04:002008-07-08T13:39:00.000-04:00I've been suffering from massive writer's block. I just finally had to take myself by the shoulders and shake hard. I can't say the floodgates have opened up, but at least there's a decent trickle going on now.Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-38396210224148233602008-07-08T11:59:00.000-04:002008-07-08T11:59:00.000-04:00There you are! I was wonderin' about you.<BR/><BR/>Very intriguing. I've never read John Irving, either, but this sounds like something I should check out.Janna Qualmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.com
