Pleasant Vices by Judy Astley - had me laughing out loud on the bus - you can read it an a couple of hours.

Rivals by Jilly Cooper, I prefer it to Riders tbh.

Light a Penny Candle by Maeve Binchy. Wish she would do a sequel, I never wanted it to end. Especially as the ending was so pants.

Marian Keyes is trash IMO, but real good solid trash. Despite her posturing about how awful it is not to be taken seriously as an author.

I read lots of virginia andrews' books when I was 16. really trash. However, there are some books that pretend to be highbrow that are soooo trashy as well...

Also definitely Riders. Sadly, I came to Jilly Cooper late (well into my 20s). Could definitely have done with the education in my early teens (!).
