Love all of those (well, haven’t read Cussler).

Very much enjoy historical fiction and Bernard Cornwell, of former Nationwide ‘fame’ is a captivating scribe with his Sharpe series.

Jack Ketchum is worth checking out if you fancy a bit of torture and mutilation.

The Girl Next Door is particularly gruesome.

I re-read it the other week, after about 30 years from the first time. Grim is absolutely the word for it! It’s good though, but you won’t feel uplifted!

Respect to those of you who do read, or did, in this age when many do not, including sadly kids... but here is a proper list of 5:
Knut Hamsun - Mysteries, Hunger
Gunter Grass - The Tin Drum
Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness
Robert Persig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
And on a lighter note (though it is "deeper" than many think), Kenneth Grahame - The Wind in the Willows

There was the Malory Towers set and also St Clares.
Both were set in girls boarding schools. I dont remember much about them now but loved them when I was young.

I also think there was a character called Mr Meddleand one in particular Mr Meddles Muddles.
