C.j. Sansom's Shardlake series - 7 books all excellent set in the time of Henry VIII and Cromwell.
For something a bit different in the 'supernatural/crime'
genre, try Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins series (a CofE female vicar who is also the Diocesan Exorcist) sounds a bit odd, but a brilliant writer.

OH loves J.P.Donlevy's books - as mentions in the OP's list.

I'm gonna read one of his soon. What have you read? The Ginger Man?

It's My husband who loves them rather than me. He's read all of them - his favourites are the Ginger Man and A Fairy Tale of New York.

My favourites are probably
Christoper Brookmyre, Colin Bateman and Irvine Welsh

Followed by Ian Rankin, C J Sansom (thanks to Becky), John Burdett, S J Parris and Terry Pratchett

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

This is what critics said about The Marriage Bureau for Rich People:

Ceritanya ringan dan datar, tapi cukup menarik. Kasta di India menurut saya seperti ibarat agama bila di Indonesia, bayangkan saja, untuk menikah kebanyakan dari mereka memilih jodoh dari kasta yang sama, sama seperti di negara kita, jika kita menikah bukankah kita juga menginginkan orang yang seiman. Hanya saja bedanya, agama bisa berpindah-pindah sesuai kehendak masing-masing orang, sedangkan kasta tidak bisa karena kasta diperoleh dari keturunan. Hah!!, betapa repotnya.

Stephen King is the horror Master. Very detailed writing.
Also like James Herbert, who is quite a formatted horror writer. The hero fights an evil force, with some 5h@gging along the way. Very readable.

I tend to read more science-based books in my middle-age. Arthur C Clarke is a true science visionary and pioneer of ideas.
Stephen Hawking is the master of theories. Some of his works are incredibly tricky to get through. I would suggest "Black holes and baby universes" gives a user-friendly insight to the man and his theories
