I've heard so many good things about John Irving, though, and I should definitely give The World According to Garp a try. :)Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000858.post-35017606305519026092011-03-01T15:50:41.985-05:002011-03-01T15:50:41.985-05:00I loved the movie and the book--but it has be a zi...I loved the movie and the book--but it has be a zillion years since I read and watched Garp.

I haven't seen the movie yet but would love to compare them. There were so many symbolic images in the book that stuck with me.
