what i'm reading now

I'm a fan of John Irving. Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany were excellent reads. I really haven't been able to get into some of his novels published in the interim between Owen Meany and this one, but with Last Night in Twisted River I found the great story telling and plot twists that I so enjoy with his books. It's a tale about a father and son who become fugitives after the 12 year old boy accidentally kills someone. The novel spans five decades and introduces some of the most interesting characters that can be found in a work of fiction. Here's a quote from the book: "We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly--as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth--the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives."
