I've lost my copy of 'Money' - how did that happen? Looked everywhere for it. Bah.
Now that I am proper adult, and only occasionally a sulky teen, I can say it. Some of the above books are not very good. Ten years ago, I'd have sooner shaved my head than admit it.

Ha ha, pretty sure that you didn't, so you're off the hook.
I've got a John Irving book of yours I reckon you leant me in something like 2002. Still haven't read it - that makes me feel bad for teasing you about not reading 'Satan Wants Me' all that time.
Actually, do you have 'Satan Wants Me'?? Or did I lend it to someone else? Ha ha, I'm hopeless with possessions.
I know where it is! Sort of. I was reading it when we went to end of the road, and I left it in Ant's car, with my Daniel Johnston CD. I have seen neither item since.
that book was my gateway to M.A. loved it. i want a first edition of london fields- one of the best books ever. long ago, i wrote a book report on it and i was graded down because i used proper british english in an american writing class. (realise vs realize, etc)
i thought i was doing was quite clever and witty- instructor did not.

ummm, did I borrow it? In which case I lost it. Don't think I did though. Or maybe I did. If I did, then sorry. :(

Yup, I still have it. Might finish it, might put it on ebay. :)
Have you still not finished it!?!?!?
I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHER.
Give it to Laura, she won't let me down.

Think that was your paperback copy, though, wasn't it? I had a hardback at some point, I'm sure.
No, I've never owned a copy, it was certainly yours.
