I've only read two of them... Galapagos would be considered a good book for most authors. It was kind of subpar but only because it was Kurt Vonnegut. After Slaughterhouse Five, Slapstick and God Bless, You Mr. Rosewater-- almost anything would seem subpar.

Wow, I can only claim 3 of those - Temeraire, The Hunger Games, and Boneshaker. Haven't even heard of most of them, though I've heard lots about Ender's Game lately and have been meaning to read it some time.
