The World According to Garp by John Irving

Probably my favorite book and way better and more complicated than the 1982 movie. The World According to Garp explains the extraordinary and brief life of a man. This book makes you literally laugh-out-loud at the ridiculous scenarios Garp gets himself into - you want to keep reading this book to see what he will do next. Never before have I been so sad when I finished a book. This book inspires you to do as much as you can with the short time we're given here on earth! -Audrey S., alumnus
