Well, I'd recommend the Brentford trilogy.
(The Antipope, East Of Ealing, The Brentford Triangle,
The Sprouts Of Wrath and The Brentford Chainstore
Massacre).
If you like a mixture of everyday life in Britain and dadaistic
fantasy, you'll like the books.
The Times called Rankin "the James Joyce for the drinking man",
AFAIR ;-)
