well, I guess you can try Dr Copernicus, Kepler and the Newton Letter 
trilogy or The Book of Evidence, Ghosts, and Athena trilogy, the latter 
books probably some of the most brilliant writing--you do have to read the 
second set of books in order.  Banville is fascinated with painting, ghosts, 
and fabously unreliable narrators.

That was Banville's crack about Beckett, not mine. Far be it for me to claim 
such a thing. d'oh!
He's also the most un-Irish Irish writer which I find quite re-freshing.
I dig ghosts, I like Banville for that.
