Blindsight is his best book, but Watts has written a lot of great stuff, I recommend all of Rifters and, for something a bit different, especially the Sunflowers cycle.

Standard internet Watts warning that the Rift novels have random sexual torture just in case you prefer to avoid that

Right, yes, especially the last Rifter book made me wonder a bit about the sanity of the author.

I read the acknowledgements in some of his books and found him rather dislikeable.

You might want to read his blog [0] to get more insight into his character. I got the impression that the author is a great and likeable human being that became rather cynical due to his disillusionment with humanity.
