Happy Birthday! I hope you're able to get into that book. I considered it but decided I didn't have the time to join in WordShakers this month.

Happy birthday to you! I haven't read the Owen Meany book either, but I've heard it's very good and have a copy on my shelf. I hope it gets better for you soon!

I hope you had a fantastic birthday, Nise!
Well, I read this one (http://stacybuckeye.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/a-prayer-for-owen-meany-by-john-irving/) and cannot offer you any advice. Maybe you'll get something out of it that I didn't!

Jenners said...

Happy Birthday to you!! As you noted, we share a birthday!!

I read Owen Meaney ages ago and don't remember LOVING it but I don't remember HATING it either. Sorry not to be of more help.

Happy Birthday, Nise!

I've never read that author but if you're having a hard time I'm sure I would pass on him!

Looking forward as always to your upcoming reviews!

Happy birthday!

I read Owen Meany last winter for book club. I was not excited about it at all. However, I started it on the train one morning and found myself getting into it. I think it was a few chapters in that hooked me. I wasn't as in love with it as some of the other ladies, nor did I abhor as some others. But I was surprised to find that I quite enjoyed it.
