Dit is echt een darknet vraag.
Maar #TheWorldAccordingtoGarp staat bijvoorbeeld in zijn geheel op YouTube met #RobinWilliams en naar een bork van #JohnIrving.

Toch weer een avond besteed aan een prima film @steeman.bsky.social

Hard Return

@ahardreturn.bsky.social

After a binge last night I’m 70% thru and it’s wrecking me! “A Prayer For Owen Meany” is in my top 5 ever list & I’d guess it will remain there but this book is masterful, too. #TheWorldAccordingToGarp #BookSky #Literature #Reading

A left hand holds up an eReader that displays a black and white image of a simple black book cover with words light and bold on it. It’s “The World According To Garp” by John Irving. The eReader has a cute pink skin on it with red strawberries and white asters as a pattern. Out of focus behind it are the elements of a living room (brown arm chair, coffee table, houseplants) that let you know this is a moment of reading spent on the couch.

A Prayer for Owen Meany is in my list of top books ever read. It’s been maaaany years since I’ve read it though. Didn’t realize this book was of the same author. I’ll be here on the couch today. 📚💙💬⭐️

My left hand holds up an eReader displaying the black and white image of a book cover. The book cover appears plain black with title and author in white. “The World According to Garp” by John Irving. The eReader has a cute skin on it that is pink with red strawberries and white daisies on it. A peek of background is to the bottom and right of the frame to show I’m in my living room. A red blanket covers my knees below the reader and things like a brown leather armchair, coffee table, houseplants, are blurry in the background to give a sense of place.

Day 15

Book cover for The World According to Garp by John Irving.

John Winslow Irving (born John Wallace Blunt Jr.; March 2, 1942) is an American-Canadian novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.

Irving achieved critical and popular acclaim after the international success of The World According to Garp in 1978. Many of Irving's novels, including The Hotel New Hampshire (1981), The Cider House Rules (1985), A Prayer for Owen Meany (1989), and A Widow for One Year (1998), have been bestsellers. He won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 72nd Academy Awards for his script of the film adaptation of The Cider House Rules.

Five of his novels have been adapted into films (Garp, Hotel New Hampshire, Owen Meany, Cider House, and Widow for One Year). Several of Irving's books and short stories have been set in and around New England, in fictional towns resembling Exeter, New Hampshire.
