I admit I'm still working my way (albeit very slowly) through Last Night in Twisted River so this list might not be totally accurate. I also seem to remember I couldn't bring myself to read all of Setting Free the Bears so perhaps that's a little unfair as well. But oh well. This is my list.
10) A Son of the Circus
9) The Water-Method Man
8) The 158-Pound Marriage
7) Until I Find You
6) The Hotel New Hampshire
5) The Fourth Hand
4) A Prayer for Owen Meany
3) The World According to Garp
2) The Cider House Rules
1) A Widow for One Year
I don't have a lot to say about many of these individually. John Irving's style and subject matter is divisive at times and it's a matter of taste as to who likes him and who doesn't. All of his books touch on many of the same themes and I enjoy reading and re-reading them. He makes up a good percentage of my home libary.
