I think I will now that I've read your post. Thank you for the introduction.

It was spellbinding and hooked me on Irving the author.<br/><br/>But I'm an inconstant and unfaithful reader and never read any of his other novels.<br/><br/>Now I feel guilty that I never read Cider House, but waited, instead, for the movie to come out and, considering how they butchered Owen Meany for the movies, I should run right across the street to B&N now and buy Cider House.

Read the book, it's worth it. well with the caveat that I almost never think movies as good as the books they are based upon the Rob Lowe flick does not do it justice (robin williams came Much closer to nailing Garp).

I had a bit of a thing for him when I was a teenager so of course I saw it. I've always meant go back and read that book. Now I will as soon as I can get to the used book hole-in-the-wall where I do my book shopping.
