I have seen the movie and I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed watching it. The first part of the book was probably my favorite part although I did enjoy learning what happened to the boys. Can't remember when that happened though. Gah, its been so long since I read the book or even saw the film.

I haven't read any of his other books. Any recs?

A prayer for own meany is really good and have you seen the movie the cider house rules? the movie was bad but the book was amazing. Oh and the world accoring to Garp is amazing. Oh and his newest one Until I find you is the best a little twisted but its really good. lol I know I just recommed everything he wrote but there all really good

I've read 'The World According to Garp'. A little weird, but quite funny once you get a feel for John Irving's sense of humor. Still cringe at the biting off the penis scene though....
