Hi Marc, I had read Garp allmost 20 Years ago, I think, and i didn't get it. Maybe because it was translated to german. The only thing i remember was that car eccident in front of the house.
The same was with child of circus. It was also translated to german and was highly recommended - but i didn't like it.
That was my experience with Irving.
i like Mika Waltari, Tom Clancy, Ken Follett, the earth children (Ayla) from J.M.Auel (but not the last book, that sucks).
i read them all in german and most of them in english - what is a lot better.
One other good writer is Nelson DeMille - he inspired me to a lot of trips around NYC.
I did all that reading with my palmone lifedrive. now with the Sony, I will start over all the classics - and all in english.
take care
harry
