had to add to the thread after seeing the john irving comments!
uw is right--if you've only seen the movies based on his books, then you've missed a lot. garp, hotel new hampshire, cider house rules, and especially a prayer for owen meany (probably my favorite book of all time) are amazing.

jim--if you haven't read the water method man (one of irving's earlier books--i believe his third), you should check it out. it's freakin' hilarious!

also, infinite jest by david foster wallace is a great book for anyone not put off by 1000+ pages--it's more than worth the time!

thrillho Kids are great, Appu.
