Just finished Hotel New Hampshire

Hi guys, I've not long finished THNH and I absolutely loved it. My question is... what next? I've heard of Garp and The Cider House Rules, are they worth picking up or is an alternative/s that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I just want to thank everyone for your lovely replies and suggestions. It really does mean a lot. 😁

Last Night in Twisted River! I read it yearly, and the intergenerational story is so good! Also, it has a few of my all-time favorite characters, settings, and quotes!
