A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
I raced through the first 570 pages, unable to put it down. And then I got tired. The last 70 pages were torture, as I forced myself to put down the other library books which seductively whispered "Rachel, come and read us". But alas, I had maxed out the number of renewals allowed and had to finish it before they started fining me. Because I just can't leave a book without knowing how it ends. I know, it's a cross I have to bear.
Anyway, it was an ok book. I'll never read it again, but I'm glad I did at least once.

Owen Meany is one of my very, very favorites, but I know it's not for everyone. Still, I have read it several times and never get tired of OWEN.
