Jack Reacher - i read all of them, and do not intend to follow the ones by his brother, so technically a past guilty pleasure.

Hard Luck Hank series - the protagonist is dumber than a box of rocks but he is indestructible and immortal so things usually work out for him. i do wish the author would tone it down on sex with virtually every woman Hank meets, because even taking the Kama Sutra into consideration those women would not survive. still it is a fun romp with aliens and gangsters and a very proper butler and quite a few laughs.

i am almost done with the series. i will have to find something else to satisfy the 'popcorn' cravings.
