In reply to:

Oprah's book club doesn't appeal as the books have been mostly been about life transitions for the young adults (younger than I, anyway) and I've done all that!

Well, in that case, have you tried Mary Wesley, who started writing in her 70s and must be almost 90 by now (unless she's died without my noticing)? Her characters live unusual lives without being wierd themselves.

Another favourite is Barbara Pym, who can best be described as a sort of updated Jane Austen.
