Yes

I, like Kurt, was NOT a re-reader -- so many books, so little time.

Until several people in my office were jointly reading a book I'd read years before -- John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany." As my co-workers discussed the book, I realized how much of it I'd forgotten but knew I had adored reading it.

So I pulled it off the shelf and enjoyed it all over again. Sure, some portions were familiar but in a good way. And some parts were also brand new.

It broke my heart a second time, just as it had the first
