Ken Liu's "Single-Bit Error" was an interesting reply to Chiang's "Hell is the Absence of God".
Connie Willis wrote several SF works around the theme of historians in 21st century Oxford travelling back in time as part of their studies. The short story Fire Watch is online and serves as a good introduction. If you like it a lot, you should probably try reading To Say Nothing of the Dog or Doomsday Book.
Overall, I did like Blackout/All-Clear, but the aspects of time-traveling and universe taking a special interest in human-level 'big happenings' were unconvincing for me.
Not really the point of the story of course, but if one introduces time-traveling in a story, it should be thought trough a bit more, I think.
A great short story called On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning by Haruki Murakami. It's only 3 pages long and really touching, especially for those of us unsuccessfully dabbling in PUA/romance.
