_A Prayer for Owen Meany_ is one of those books that I give to as many
people as I possibly can. (I hand it out just a little less often than
_Franny and Zooey_...)
It's also the reason that I will never wear a white dress to a baseball
game.
On another note, keeping with the thread... I like to force my Canadian
friends to watch Canadian Bacon, John Candy's very last movie and one of his
best. Like the Simpsons' take on Australia, it does the same for Americans
and Canada. Very funny. A quote from the movie: "O-Ho, I can tell that
you're trying to trick me now. Everyone knows that the capital of Canada
isn't Ottawa, it's Toronto! You can't fool an American!" (Or something
similar...)

Hey, ever read A Prayer for Owen Meany? :)
That dialog RE: opinion polls was a riot, indeed :)
