My favourite book of all time

“Owen Meany” von John Irving. I read this book almost 30 years ago and am still fascinated by the character of Owen Meany. Owen’s belief that we must all play our part in society, and no matter what disadvantages or shortcomings we are born with and/or grew up with, we can control our destiny.  It still impresses me.
