...also a good idea to ask your doctor to write out both the generic and brand names of your prescription. Find out from him or her what condition the drug is supposed to treat, how to take it and what possible side effects you might expect.

John Irving's rural sprawl of a novel becomes, in his screenplay, a small epic with subtle strengths.

You can't just be any old doctor; you have to be a surgeon. You can't just teach; you have to be a professor. You can't just work for a hot new Internet company; you have to go out and start your own. You can't even be just an investment banker; you have to quit when you're 30 and write...
