I have it somewhere! His autobiography is in two parts - this one's the second installment.<br /><br />Genelin books are the 3rd and 4th, but I think I'll start there..no time to back-track.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-56607864101884659222014-12-16T20:46:53.759-08:002014-12-16T20:46:53.759-08:00I could probably squeeze a post out of Reacher, bu...I could probably squeeze a post out of Reacher, but then I'd have to read one instead of just stock-piling.

Otherwise, Irving and Winslow caught my eye - 2 very fine writers.

I suppose all series ultimately get tired in the end. I've switched off a few myself. I don't suppose Reacher is harming his bank balance though as he continues to churn them out!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-77214290214238552282014-12-16T01:39:13.768-08:002014-12-16T01:39:13.768-08:00Those early Lee Childs were really good reads - sa...Those early Lee Childs were really good reads - sad when a series goes a bit off, but one can understand that it must be a drag turning them out. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-19279439325210891272014-12-15T07:31:35.306-08:002014-12-15T07:31:35.306-08:00Prashant, GARP is my second favourite Irving book ...Prashant, GARP is my second favourite Irving book after A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY. I can't recall having the same issues as you on first reading. Maybe second time around I'll have a more critical eye when reading it. It has been a few years since I picked one of his up. I'll try for one on 2015.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-2538295637943006042014-12-15T07:09:40.780-08:002014-12-15T07:09:40.780-08:00Col, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP was a much-hyped ...Col, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP was a much-hyped up book. I liked only the first half and thought it kind of lost its way towards the end which, of course, is not a reflection on John Irving's writing.Prashant C.
