Kate Atkinson 'Case Histories' - literature and detective story. Excellent english author.
I highly rec CJ Cherryh for sci fi with political/psych/anthro bent. 'Cyteen' was excellent and the current Foreigner series is breathtaking. She also writes great space opera in a well-organized universe and fantasy. She is great dealing with how cultures evolve and dealing with alien or very different human cultures.
And if you haven't read the Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, he waited 17 years to come out with the sequel, which I hope to read. Pillars of Earth is about the bulilding of a cathedral in 12th century England. 1000 pages of action and history.
