Started "The Goldfinch" with enthusiasm then did not finish it. I got to the point where I didn't care about the any of the characters anymore and was getting weary of MC's obsessive guilt about the painting. In contrast, "A Prayer for Owen Meany" was a memorable story. I only read it once but still think about it years later.

One of my favorite discoveries on the book subs…how many people read Owen Meany years or decades ago and still remember it (and remember it rather fondly).
