  2. James Ellroy's trilogy of historical potboilers. Quite a neat and paranoid rewriting of history. Staccato prose, not for the limp of wrist:

    American Tabloid
    The Cold Six Thousand
    Blood's A Rover

    (Not read the last one yet, it's currently third in the pile behind Dawkins' newey and David Kynaston's 'Family Britain'. His LA Trilogy is pretty good too, labyrinthine plots, grisly murders and scurrilous gossip)

  10. Anything by John Wyndham

    TCAM Harper Lee

    Time Traveller's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, Stieg Larsson

    Anything by Anne Rice, Stephanie Meyer or Charlaine Harris (spot the theme there....)

    and if I'm stuck in an airport looking for something to read I usually go straight for one of the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell, but that's more of a Ronseal than a hearty recommendation....
