I like James Clavel as a storyteller...
Shogun
Taipan
King Rat etc.....

read all the series (no mean feat) several times, over the years.  Shogun must be at least 10 times, with Taipan a close second..

Also partial to a Geoffrey Archer now and again, when he is not doing time....  Chewing gum for the brain, but quite readable as a trashy novelette...

Para Handy series as good Scots easy reading from a bygone age, similar to Whisky Galore....

Have been a fan of Terry Pratchett's for many years and his "Guards Guards" is a bl**dy good laugh.
