I would opine that any Greenaway is, at least, thought-provoking, if not
necessarily a masterpiece.  Much enjoy(ed) "The Belly of an Architect" (Brian
Dennehy in a blow-out performance) and "Prospero's Books" (not so much for the
Shakespeare, but for Gielgud and the cinamatography).  Will second that
"Drowning by Numbers" (with a lovely turn by Joan Plowright (sp?) is very good,
and upon repeated viewings, "The Cook, the Thief, the Wife & His Lover" gets
beyond the ratings hullabaloo to be a tale with a moral, chopped up and digested
though it may be.
Have, sadly, yet to see "Pillow Book", his last of which I'm aware.

...30 pages into Kotler's "The Angle Quickest for Flight", and haven't had
opportunity to crack a smile yet...30 pages into Gaddis or Pynchon, or even DFW,
and I've laughed at least once...doesn't bode well...
