I’m not sure when it was written, but I ran across this list of the best science fiction and fantasy books this century, and I resonated with the ones I’ve read, so I thought I’d see what others thought of it. Have you read many of them?

    The only one of the ones you mentioned that I’ve read is American Gods, which I liked a lot, but I’m a different audience for that. I’m an atheist who is fascinated by religions, so I know a little about a lot of them, and I also don’t mind slowly-paced books. There were lots of references to things that made me smile and kept me engaged.

    Oh, I read All Systems Red as well, and liked it, but also agree with your observations: it’s a fun, light read. Also worth noting that it’s a novella, so there wasn’t as much room to develop a lot of complexity as for a book twice its length.
