This book by John Irving came up once on Diary of a CEO in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Scott Galloway. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Set in rural Maine in the first half of this century, it tells the story of Dr. Wilbur Larch--obstetrician and director of the orphanage in the town of St. Clouds. It is also the story of his favorite orphan, Homer, who is never adopted.
“then I read a bunch of John Irving novels the world according to GARP Cider House roles and the people in it were just so strange it made me feel better about myself”— Scott Galloway
