Just re-read Heart is a Lonely Hunter, I see something new each time. Love that book. Read all the others but didn't care for Meaney, preferred Cider House of Widow for One Year. Good list though!
Owen Meany is the only Irving I have read. I think I have shied away from his other novels because I loved OM so much that I'm afraid nothing else could be as good in comparison. I have seen the movie Garp & thoroughly despised it, but remember liking Cider House Rules in movie version, so maybe I'll give one of these other Irvings you recommend a try soon. Thanks!
Don't get ,e wrong - I did like it! Just thought those two were better....let me know what you think...happy reading!
Finally someone else who loved OM as much as I! Honestly I’m in a constant search for anything like it!
