McGoohan Aug 2019 6:58pm, 6 Aug 2019 40,718 posts	0 McGoohan Widow For a Year? I think?
Night-owl Aug 2019 7:03pm, 6 Aug 2019 32,965 posts	0 Night-owl Ahhh yes that sounds familiar
Columba Aug 2019 7:07pm, 6 Aug 2019 18,317 posts	0 Columba I don't think I've read any Irving. Including Widow for a Year, which I probably would have if it was a book group choice, unless perhaps it was a supplementary/alternative book.
Night-owl Aug 2019 7:20pm, 6 Aug 2019 32,966 posts	0 Night-owl March 2016. Was main book bonus was Snowblind which i read
Columba Aug 2019 7:22pm, 6 Aug 2019 18,320 posts	0 Columba Yes, I read Snowblind. Maybe instead of Widow.
Little Nemo Aug 2019 7:27pm, 6 Aug 2019 9,524 posts	0 Little Nemo Was TWATG the film with Robin Williams?
Northern Exile Aug 2019 7:37pm, 6 Aug 2019 5,294 posts	0 Northern Exile Yep.
Little Nemo Aug 2019 7:59pm, 6 Aug 2019 9,525 posts	0 Little Nemo That's my favourite Irving book and it's a great film too.
Serendippily Aug 2019 8:30pm, 6 Aug 2019 13,518 posts	0 Serendippily Definitely read Garp. Loved that the house was pre disastered I’ve used that phrase a lot. Meant to read a prayer for Owen Meany. Not sure if I did
Bintmcskint Aug 2019 8:50pm, 6 Aug 2019 43,687 posts	0 Bintmcskint I went through an Irving phase in my 20s I think Cider House Rules is my favourite thought I did enjoy Owen Meany, too. I was reading Irving at about the same time I was reading Tom Robbins. I read and re-read Robbins. I do wonder if I would still enjoy them. Sometimes an author is right for that exact moment in your life or age that you're at.
