Connie Willis's books are fun -- To Say Nothing of the Dog, Blackout, Doomsday Book.

The Temeraire series is fun -- the Napoleonic Wars, but with dragons.

No way to Pillars of the Earth. One of the characters is a sadistic rapist and there are a lot of graphic sex scenes (both consensual and non) that leave nothing to the imagination. I just read that book a few months ago and I enjoyed it but some of it was just porn and not appropriate for kids.
