Favourite Irving: Owen Meaney. Possibly because I like slightly twisted takes on religion.
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
That's my only Irving.
My only Irving is Hotel New Hampshire a long, long time ago.
Prayer for Owen Meany is really the only Irving I love
I never read Owen Meaney because of the all caps sections.

The all-caps drove me insane.

Being a Terry Pratchett fan, I didn't mind much.
Irvings I have known (in order of preference):
A Widow for One Year
The Cider House Rules
The World According to Garp
The Hotel New Hampshire
I have a special fondness for Garp, mostly because of the film, but I loved
A Widow for One Year.
Oh wait, I read Garp, too. That's it, though, although I have a copy of Widow around somewhere, I think.
Everybody needs to read the early Irvings too!
Water Method Man is flat out hilarious. It might be his funniest book.
