The Midlife Crisis

I really loved Fried Green Tomatoes and Daisy Fay, but after that she seemed to get unbearably twee... Maybe she always was and I was too young to recognise it? Lots of God in the ones I read recently too. I'm interested in your opinion.

Cider House Rules was pretty good from what I remember (was that the book where a man was looking for a woman with an aperture as small as a mouse's ear?) I prefer A Prayer for Owen Meany though. I heard a recording of Irving doing Owen Meany's voice a while back - it was as I imagined it.
