trying to read or write with other people's background noise makes me homicidal. oddly enough if i'm the one who switched on the music i can read with it on just fine.
i think i get more annoyed with the lack of consideration than with the noise itself.
i agree that garp wasn't as good as owen meany. the thing i really took away from garp was how it's pointless to try to protect everyone you love from everything because man is moral and everyone is going to get hurt. the more you try to save people the more they're going to get away from you.
i agree, the difference in owen meany was that the suffering and the work had a point, he had a destiny that made the story seem worthwhile. it's probably one of my top 10 books of all time.
