I'm with you on sometimes wanting to just rip through a book, not having deep thoughts, but just turning page after page to find out what comes next.
Really enjoyed the Bobiverse series: http://dennisetaylor.org/. Reminded me a little of Greg Egan, but with a lot less maths and a lot more humour. Helps that the hero is a programmer ;_)
Also the Brilliance trilogy by Markus Sakey. Very entertaining..
