If A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving is your fav book, I seriously need your help

I have managed to bag a spot on Radio 4's Bookclub recording with John Irving all about A Prayer for Owen Meany. It is my absolute favorite book and I think John Irving has got to be my favourite author too.

I am so excited to be going, there will only be about 30 people at the recording but I have to ask a question about the book to the great man himself and I am seriously nervous. I am convinced I am going to ask a question that really sounds stupid. Help!! I am rereading it now but I feel like I am cramming for an exam.

Thanks giddy. I am so scared I am going to sound like something out of a gcse exam . Bugger, why didn't I get to do something like this pre-children when I had some semblance of a brain.

Blimey, it's such a complex book, I know what you mean about wanting a question to sound intellectual. I will have a think. I am so jealous of you, it sounds great.
