It's by John Irving (it's one of his older books--written in the late 80's). I don't know how I've gone this long without reading anything by John Irving. He wrote Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp and a bunch of other books.
I read a few other books that weren't so great before this one (to wit: the last line of one of the books was "Who the f*** cares?"), and now-- I'm hesitant to venture into something new. Maybe I'll just take a break from reading for a bit and "gear up" for the release of Catching Fire?
[I ran 3 miles this morning, after taking 6 days off because I hurt my knee. And I made it back home before anyone was up. That's the longest I've ever run. Some friends that we had over on Friday are training for the Marine Corps Marathon. They said they "got hooked" running 5K's and that soon they decided 5K wasn't far enough. I don't see myself going that way, but it's good to know that I'm at least able to run 3 miles. We'll see how I feel tomorrow!]
