The Flashman Papers, George MacDonald Fraser. Written not with any nod to being PC, but in the vernacular of the Victorian times. A cracking series of books about the adventures of the anti-hero Harry Flashman (the bully from Rugby school, known from Tom Brown's Schooldays). Meticulous historical research and footnotes add to the experience.
Cormac McCarthy: enjoyed the writing in all of his books, albeit he doesn't shirk life's brutalities.
Some Leslie Thomas, especially The Adventures of Goodnight and Loving, and Running Away, sheer escapism.
Read a couple of Bernie Gunther novels, Philip Kerr, interesting with the main character, a Berlin detective, trying to keep himself and his principles alive amid the oppression of Nazi Germany.
