Cover of "Prayer for Owen Meany"

    • This is my favorite Irving book. I found this book to be quite moving. Owen practices his entire life without realizing how important he will be.

Cover of "WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP"

    • The movie of this was my first introduction to Irving, I believe. As I began reading him, I went back to read this. While the movie was all right, the book was even better.

Cover of "Cider House Rules"

    • During my Irving stage, this was my favorite, until he wrote Owen Meany. I never saw the movie.

    • I got into Irving in the late 1980s. After a few, I went back and read this one that I had missed.

How does the voting work?
Find a comment helpful / unhelpful? Cast your vote. Only one vote from each person will be counted. Every hour we gather all the votes, add them up, add some magic source, and there we have the new sorting for the comments on the page of this book!
What's the difference between friends and neighbors?
Friends are people you know. Neighbors are people you don't know but you'd like to keep track of their updates anyway.
Would I would leave a trace when I visit other people's shelf?
You get to choose. If you can choose to visit anonymously, you will not get to see who has visited your shelf. Fair deal.
