Title: Gather Around John Irving Fan Club
Product review: There are plenty of reviews here which will give you a book summary. I'm just stopping by to say that if you enjoy the unusual stories of John Irving or John Updike, chances are that you'll love The Memory of Running. At times, I had the feeling that the author simply scattered piles of unrelated short stories on his kitchen table and then randomly began assembling them into one big stack to create this novel. No matter how it did it, it worked for me! This is a quirky, unusual tale with well-crafted, quirky characters. Total reading pleasure will be yours.
