The ones I will re-read are the ones that I liked better. For me, the most "mind blowingly good book" that I ever read is considered by many to be a hack piece by a hack author. There are also a few books that are considered by others to be "mind blowingly good books" that I consider to be unreadable garbage.
Well, I think that is strange. I have read books I consider to be very good but was not for me so I did not like them so much. Also for the Hugo you vote for the best SF/Fantasy book. And that might not be the book in the short list that you liked best because the book you liked best was not the best sf/fantasy book.
