A Prayer for Owen Meany. It's only the second book of John Irving's that I've read but after reading Garp and the first 150 odd pages of this, I've come to the conclusion that he is the King.

Right on, I read Owen Meany this summer!
It's an incredibly good book, I absolutely loved it. [/b][/quote]
Yeah, it's great so far.
Didja know there is a movie? It's called "Simon Birch". I haven't seen it, but it seems to be an adaptation or a "based on" kind of thing. Irving's name is tied to it, but all the names of the characters are changed. Jim Carrey and Ashley Judd were in it.
