For sheer entertainment SM Stirling's Nantucket/Change books are a lot of fun. Some of them are like a train wreck ( so bad you should stay away) but the entertainment values, assuming you set your plausibility meter to "zero" and just go along for the ride, are unparalleled.
I've been on a Kim Stanley Robinson kick lately-- just read the Mars books straight through. But his fascination with breast feeding in the climate-change series was creepy...

SM Stirling is great airport reading. His books remind me of the great beer commercial: tastes great, less filling!
