I am the worst damn atheist in the whole world. They're gonna kick me out.  This book, which is all about faith and believing in something higher than yourself affected me like no other. Plus, it's wickedly funny. You'll see why I was a goner from the first page. |

I'm gonna see if Dad is willing to take me to the library, I really want to read this book. If that fails, I asked mom for an amazon gift-card for my birthday, hopefully I'll be able to get it on my Kindle. Thing is, I don't want to make anyone wait awhile if the rest of you guys are ready, I'll just catch up if you decide to go ahead and start reading.

Chloe, if you need, I will find an ebook copy to send you.
P.S. You don't have to go to the library to reserve the book, just go to your library's website and do it.

Strange, I just looked on my library website and it doesn't seem to be in the catalog. But it is available on my Kindle... if you could find an ebook copy to send to me, that'd be wonderful, otherwise, I'm gonna see if I can visit with mom this weekend since my birthday is a week after tomorrow.

Does PDF work for Kindle? I don't know. I would have to google that. And yeah, I know how the library systems work... I've been working in one off and on since I was 16.  |

By the way, I keep getting mixed reviews on PDFs on Kindle Fire. It works, but it's formatted like you would see it on a computer. Maybe just waiting until I had the money to get it would be the best way to go. |

Well, I used to work in a library, and I'm looking to work there again. I'm kinda hoping to work at my old school library, just so I can be in that same town again. The weird thing is, I went through hell over there, but the town was so beautiful, I can't stay away. Working in a library is a wonderful experience, plus, you get first pick at a book of your choice before you start bringing them out. |

Moon, if you can find me a PDF version, even one I can read on the computer for now, that'd be wonderful. I should have known that we always celebrate my birthday the weekend after my birthday because my mom is always super busy on the first week of every month, which means I will not be getting that amazon giftcard until then.
I will look again on the library website to see if I missed it in the catalog, but when I looked, it didn't even seem to be in the catalog at all.

Gah. I've got to go to the library tomorrow and get the block taken off my account for overdue books before I can order A Prayer for Owen Meany from interlibrary loan.  No reading ahead, Jen.  |
