Hugo Plans


We decided as a couple that we would like a little more exposure to some of the awesome sci-fi that's out there. Unfortunately, sci-fi is seriously hit or miss so we wanted a little bit of guidance. Enter the Hugo award winners. We decided not to go with the Nebula award winners since that list seemed to be a little high browed and not that much fun comparatively. So the plan is to read two Hugo winners a year. One old winner and the most recent winner. Our very first read will be Demolished Man.

And as it turns out, even award winning books can be hard to find. We didn't think Demolished Man would be hard to find since it was the first Hugo award winner, but apparently it's not that popular of a book. We ended up going with a Kindle Version of the book. If we buy hard copies of every Hugo award winner, we'll have trouble storing them. Fortunately, digital storage isn't near as much of a problem.

So here's to embarking on what I hope will be an awesome journey into great sci-fi books simultaneously with the hubby.
