John Irving - Recommend What to Read Next

[swede123]

So I just finished reading The Cider House Rules (haven't seen the movie). What a wonderful book. It balances a good use of humor but staying serious enough to keep the reader interested and caring about the characters.

Prior to this the only other Irving book I read was The World According to Garp; which I also enjoyed, though not as much as The Cider House Rules.

I'm curious to read some other work of his, and I'm looking for suggestions on where to go next. I'm also curious about the movie. I know it got lots of critical acclaim, but how does it match up compared to the novel? Is it worth checking out?
