I mostly read obscure SciFi books.
"Two Faces of Tomorrow" was one of the best, "A Fire Upon the Deep" was also good.

Nothing I've read has left an impression on me.

Good-fucking-Lord, yes you do. Imagining what you read is giving me sympathy pains. If you really love sci-fi then just start hitting every Ray Bradbury SHORT STORY collection you can get your hands on. When you're done with that, think about the difference in his work compared to what you already read. THEN read Neuromancer, and think about how the internet didn't exist when that book was written.

Honestly, what you read was so light and easy that maybe you should start with Ender's Game for easy sci-fi with stronger themes and more well developed characters. Seriously though, stop reading an author's catalog. Get some variety.
