I think it is finally time to add this one to the list :) I have a list on my blog going of 28 books I want to read in my 28th year of life, which has been very fun to work through. I think Owen is going to go replace something else :) Thanks for the reviews!

Laura and I read it on a regular basis, and sometimes just open it up randomly and read passages out loud. Wait, don't people do that with the Bible? Anyway, here's to Owen -SL Matt, what a great post on Owen…I’m a friend, too. Laura and I read it on a regular basis, and sometimes just open it up randomly and read passages out loud.

What a way to ruin a great book, huh? I should re-read it now that I'm not pregnant, but it took me 18 months to be able to read Michael Rosen's <em>Going on a Bear Hunt</em> (Jack's favorite book at the time I read <em>Owen Meany</em>) without getting queasy, so I'm a little gunshy. I know. I know. I should get over it. Unfortunately, I read A Prayer for Owen Meany when I was pregnant with Jane, so my memory of the book evokes the nausea I experienced while I was reading it.
