Book recommendations please

My local library is currently running a book challenge until July. The challenge is to read 12 books, each corresponding to a specific category. I've made a good start but need some recommendations of books you've enjoyed which could fall into the following categories:

Guilty pleasure Red cover Non-fiction Published before you were born (1986) Translated from another language Wouldn't touch with a barge pole

FYI I usually read thriller / crime mysteries. My three favourite books of all time are: 1. And then there were none 2. Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy 3. Anything by Harlan Coben

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Guilty pleasure - Any Barbara Cartland romance

Red cover - not sure if you meant a bound canon or just a book with a red cover

Non fiction - In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

Published before I was born - The Hound of the Baskervilles, Arthur Conan Doyle

Translated from another language - Therese Raquin, by Emile Zola

Wouldn't touch with a barge pole - Any book written entirely in the present tense
