That is from A prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.

Seems to be a great book!  ;) I think I put it on my list...

Dagi:
If you love it, I should definitely read it. So far I´ve loved the books you said you loved...

Okay, now I have a question about the book that has been lying on my desk for some time now and is still waiting to be finished, although it is really brilliant and pure joy to read...(but sometimes one is just not in the mood to read, or one has found something even better to read... ;D).

In which novel does a man called Uncle Pete give advice as to the exact time when a man and a woman should have sexual intercourse in order to get a girl?

I knew that one!  :)  "The smallest person I ever knew" tipped me off.

Here's one - probably too easy:

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents"
