Irving's new novel Last Night in Twisted River comes out tomorrow and Sparky is beside herself with glee over the news and she'll be snapping it up soon after it's released. He's her favorite author and she's been on pins and needles awaiting his new book. So, if she doesn't return your calls or Facebook you back for a few days, you know where she'll be, reading her new Irving novel. I used to be the same way about Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut books. But Robbins last few novels left me cold, I didn't even finish the last one, and Vonnegut is dead, so there you go.
Anyhoo, happy John Irving Day and go ahead and get the hell offline and read a book, it won't kill you you know.
