    Just started 'The Fourth Hand' by John Irving after going on a Irving-buying blitz this afternoon to celebrate the end of exams and the beginning of summer. The author has this peculiar facsination with separating his characters from their limbs/organs/etc...oh well, I also bought 'The 158-Pound Marriage' and 'The Hotel New Hampshire.' I'm so excited to read them!
