I read Bester's The Demolished Man about the same time, and those novels are ... in the same tier. I probably have narrower tastes than Bruce, but I'm still having no problem finding entertaining SF to read when my moods swing that way.ETA: What I read this past February, as an illustration, behind a spoiler so people don't have to see it if they don't want.[SPOILER="My February"]So, I read The Ten Thousand Doors of January this past February. All the books I read that month that I'd unreservedly recommend (presuming I felt someone's tastes aligned, of course):Razzmatazz by Christopher MooreThe Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. HarrowThe Bouncer by David GordonWorld Gone By by Dennis LehaneA Dark Matter by Peter StraubBlack River Orchard by Chuck WendigBlacktop Wasteland by S. A. CosbyAmerican by Day by Derek B. MillerThe Hard Stuff by David GordonKaiju Preservation Society by John ScalziNow, that was, looking back, a very good reading month, and only a couple of those books are even arguably SF, but I still think it indicates pretty hard there's good stuff out there.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
