I finished Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving. I tried it years ago; I'm glad I gave it another shot. I originally tried it in hardcover, but the print was small and the lines were close together. I do find the Kindle much easier to read.

The rest of it was his usual Dickensian novel--elaborately plotted, lots of crazy characters, and little marvels. I really enjoyed it.
