Go Figure
When I lived in Boston, I read a lot of John Irving. I think I had read all of his books save Setting Free the Bears. I have not read a one since. Hmmm . . .
Anyhow, without question my favorite of his books was A Prayer for Owen Meany. It was very spiritual and so well-written. I have recommended to many people over the years.
So here I am 17 years removed from Irving, after midnight, flipping through On Demand to find something to watch. I came across a title that I decided to read the description. It sure did sound familiar, yet the title was not the same. A quick check of IMDB and sure enough, the movie Simon Birch is the film version of Owen Meany. Who woulda thunk it?
That this is nine years old and stars Jim Carrey, I hold no hopes of it being any good, but what the heck, I’ll give it a try.
