Yup. Just finished Owen Meany in time for Christmas. It took me awhile to read. Let's put it this way: For TPunk's birthday last January, one of my presents was that I had bought the book and started reading it. This Christmas, one of her presents was the book with the bookmark at the end!
I did not read continuously through the year, mind you. The book is like 600 pages, and has many rewards. For TPunk's birthday in a couple weeks, I will complete this line of gifting by giving her a 5-page book report on the book.
