If you like crackling thrillers like Snatch (but set in Scotland), he's your man.
My just-about-favourite-book of all time is Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. Each chapter describes a world where time runs differently and the effects are both strikin and poetic. Despite the premise, this is not a technical or science fiction-y book. Its real focus is on human nature and how we live our lives. It's not preachy or sappy or new-agey either.
