Dennis,
What I find interesting is that I can be engaged by books with lots of political and social ideas. For example, I like all three of Heinlein's most famous works (Star Ship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) but I am not turned off by the strong political or religious ideas in any of them; I think in large part because the works are so very different. Heinlein is exploring the ideas, not necessarily preaching them (Though Moon is a Harsh Mistress seems to come close to his personal beliefs I think).
