How would you rate his books btw, order of preference and such?

Just that he's so good I wish I had more of his to read
Probably like this:
Thousand Autumns > Number9Dream > Cloud Atlas > Blackswangreen
Haven't started Ghostwritten yet though

Irving can sometime start off slow but he's always a great read. I think you'll especially like this one though. I always recommend people to start off with A Widow for One Year by Irving. The man's a genius though, he's written so many amazing books with probably only one weak one.
I particularly loved Garp though, Jenny Fields reminded me of myself for some reason, but Roberta Muldoon is by far the best character. I won't say anymore in case you haven't reached that part yet though, lol
