Pleased to see the thread is still alive. I've had one or two good recommendations from it.
Here's a few I have found enjoyable and memorable.
Amitav Ghosh, The Glass Palace, great if you like historical novels in far-flung places, and quite a page turner.
2 completely different genres from Michel Faber, both of which I found hard to put down:
Under the Skin, the slightly sci-fi tale you maybe know from the movie with Scarlet Johansson but much better than the film, which I thought was also good. And
The Crimson Petal and the White, gutsy Victorian novel, more substantial than U.the Skin.
Steven Saylor, Empire, brilliantly told (and researched) novel of the most bloody and eventful period of the Roman Empire, occasionally does pump a lot of historical facts at the reader but overall makes it worth it, a colossal read.
A couple of juicy ones:
Melissa P, One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed, not a long read and enjoyable throwaway stuff.
Catherine Miller, The Sexual Life of Catherine M, slightly more substantial and rather better written.
Enjoy.
