I loved OWEN MEANY TOO! The only one I have not been able to access is the
one about India (name excapes me DUH!) Glad to have a kindred spirit here.

Michael, thank you so much for writing the above. Tom and John are also two
of my favorite authors, and I'm especially delighted to learn that Tom has
published something new! I've been smitten with his writing since "Even
Cowgirls Get the Blues," which I first read while living in North Dakota in
the late '70s -- and can I tell you that was one of the few times I was glad
I was living on those frozen plains, because it gave me a better visual for
the "Rubber Rose Ranch."
It's difficult to pick a favorite Irving book, but "A Prayer for Owen Meany"
stands out.
I'll be heading to the bookstore soon!
