I read four out of the ten and although I’m an obsessive re-reader, I have not read any of them more than once, except maybe Dune but it was a long time ago and I may just be remembering one of the sequels.
I don’t know what hard core scifi folks stick to but I did enjoy The Hunger Games series and the Divergent series. Although I doubt I’ll read them again. I read them because my teenager read them.
My all time favorite scifi is C.S.Lewis’s trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet, Paralandra; and That Hideous Strength.
For the most part I prefer fantasy.
Outstanding books! And high density Christian Wisdom within

“I did enjoy The Hunger Games series”
Hubby and I listened to them all as audio books and we enjoyed them very much.
OK, you gotta get over that whole children murdering each other thing, which I guess some folks might not be willing to get over. But suspending disbelief on that it was a great series.
Hubby always picked our audio books, even though I’m the reader in the family and when he picked that he came to me and said: I don’t know about this, I ordered it but now I’m seeing it says it’s a “Young Adult” book, I hope I didn’t screw up!
But I had been reading references to it over at the Ace of Spades blog and I said, I wouldn’t worry, the Ace of Spades guys seem to like it a good deal.
Another good one we listened to that fits in this catagory (I think) was World War Z, by Max Brooks. That was just excellent and I would normally hate stuff like the Zombie Apocalypse!
