They're all a great pleasure to read. If you really want them ranked, I
probably enjoyed Masters of Atlantis most

It almost makes me jealous to think you have the opportunity of reading
O'Brien for the first time.  The Dalkey Archive is the best book to get the

Found another Oakley Hall - Lullaby - in a charity shop this week and
finished it
