I made the deadline relatively brief so that I didn't leave the people interested in hearing the rest of the story hanging. Next time, I will leave a full week for entries. <br /><br />Glad to hear that I am not the only Garp-lover. A Prayer For Owen Meany is also a particular favorite of mine - I give Garp the slight edge due to fond memories. It was probably the first adult novel I read that moved me greatly - and made me want to write.<br /><br />Jess: I'm glad we could come to this understanding. No hard feelings, I hope.<br /><br />Cap'n: We are doing our best to dispatch of those young upstarts in short order. I'd love a sweep - but they have a hard building to play in. I'll say 5 games.

And also? I am so mad that I missed out on a contest. I took the weekend off (mostly)...actually, I haven't been reading anybody lately. <I>The World According To Garp</I> is one of my all-time favorite books. My most favoritest is <I>A Prayer For Owen Meany</I>. I cried for hours and hours. <br /><br />Anyway. Glad you're out of the doghouse and not kidnapped after all.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652737346135197054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493931967911268192.post-56431244288529040392009-05-18T22:18:00.000-04:002009-05-18T22:18:00.000-04:00Jess: Honey, you got the wrong blog.

You behave yourself and we'll get another contest going...as soon as I figure out what we'll be contesting.<br /><br />SK: Thank God, you're here. Could you look after Jess for a minute while I run to the store? I gotta buy this book and have it shipped to Florida. (Whatever you do - don't tell Jess!)
