How about some Wodehouse?
Of the ones you've suggested, this is the only author I've not yet picked up. Which was the brief.
Brief scmief. I don't have time to read too closely these days. Sorry.
Other than that, my fallback for these situations is Austen, sometimes Charlotte Brontë; or The Scarlet Pimpernel. Or Dumas. How about Evelyn Waugh? You love him, don't you?
I do love Waugh, but he's a little depressing really.
True.
Or Dickens? Sorry, my brain does not go many other places these days, and I am desperately craving Bleak House, but I don't have time to read it.
Sometimes I think you're rather odd.
I know
I am.
But I think I have convinced about 20 people that Dickens is cool lately. Who says brainwashing doesn't work?

There is actually a book called that: Reader's Block. But it is not fun and simple.

Wilde, Pratchett or something similarly humourous and witty usually helps me at that point. *NM*
