I tend to go through phases, but John Irving was one of my favourite authors at one time. I have read all of the books you mentioned (and more), and my favourite is The Cider House Rules. It's unfortunate that Irving books tend to get turned into really bad films!lady_charlie wrote:well ok maybe I have more than one favorite, but someone I haven't seen mentioned yet is John Irving.
Someone told me to read A Prayer For Owen Meany, which may be one of the best books of all time
Since then I have read The Ciderhouse Rules and A Widow for one Year and The Hotel New Hampshire. I recently picked up Setting Free the Bears at the library for ten cents.
I never feel richer than when there are half a dozen books sitting on the shelf that I haven't read yet!!!

I especially love his short stories.
