Now, again based on your suggestions, I guess I'm going to grudgingly go back to Atlas Shrugged, although I sure hope it gets better this time around . . .

Actually, I can't think of a better time to read it. It is 20 degrees here in Virginia and I am enjoying snuggling up with a blanket and my dog in front of the fireplace.
Wandatime, here is an interesting analysis of A Prayer for Owen Meany. I rarely read a book twice, but I'm thinking of reading this for a third time to look at it from the points in the analysis.
