"A Prayer for Owen Meany". Sad and poignant but maybe not depressing, sorry.

The foundation he laid in that book was pretty masterful imo.

I sobbed for a good 10 minutes when I finished that book.

It's one of the first books I recall my dad and I "bonding" around. Thankfully, many have followed.

Classic. Someday I'll reread that one, I recall really enjoying it.
