Having just finished Widow for a Year, my total comes to 4 (with Prayer for Owen Meany, World According to Garp and Cider House Rules). I have only now looked at his complete list - it's huge! What do any more of his readers recommend I read next?
I think maybe you've read the best! I would definitely not recommend "Until I find you" - it's very long and becomes tedious about half-way through when the first 300-pages of the story unravels in one fell swoop.
So, maybe I'd recommend trying something else? Have you read E L Doctorow's Ragtime? If not, that's brilliant. Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint is fun. John Williams' Stoner is beautiful. John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces is hilarious. Just to mention a few!
I'd agree with this. I enjoyed a few of them but like many prolific authors I started to find them a bit samey even though the storylines were often quite different.
I think I've read all those and also A Son Of The Circus which I found quite funny and A Widow For One Year which was also good. Might re-read some of them as I must have read Garp about 25 years ago.
I'd say his best four by far are: The World According to Garp, The Hotel New Hampshire, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany. So to answer your question, you should definitely read The Hotel New Hampshire next.
