Got a favorite John Irving book?

Oooh, it's getting more difficult... A Son of the Circus





I don't know why this one sticks with me, but it does... I think it's because the descriptions are sooo "there". One can 'feel' the sweltering atmosphere...

Pray for Owen Meany. World According to Garp.

Reply:No. I do not have a favourite John Irving book. They are all special gems. A Prayer For Owen Meany had sooo much meaning, who else could come up with hockey goalie mother Mary? As far as outright laughter, who could forget Son of the Circus? All of them, I love them all equally. I wish that Mr. John would write more. MORE! dangit.

haven't read much of him in the past almost decade...
Reply:Oooh, that is difficult. A friend gave me Setting Free the Bears not long after it came out, so I've been a fan ever since. Loved Cider House Rules and The World According to Garp, but think I'd pick A Prayer for Owen Meany as the one that's stuck with me the most.
