Two good movies

I watched "Anatomy of a Scene" on Bravo i think, and they were dissecting the scene where she goes after him with a knife. really a funny scene. they had an interview with Irving in there, and he seemed overall please.

John Irving is one of my favorite authors. my mother gave me Cider House Rules for my 9th birthday, an old, hardbacked copy. I still have it. He takes a long way in winding a tale, but the characters never lose their luster. He never allows a character to sink too low or get too high, and hope is always there, even though it might be hard to see.

My personal favorites are "Rules", "A Prayer for Owen Meany", and "Son of the Circus".

I read his last book, "The Fourth Hand" but left feeling like it wasn't finished. kinda disappointing.
