      I see Rob is of the "be rude to more successful authors for attention" school of brand development.

      She won a Hugo. In the current year, that's a pretty damning indictment.

      Care to elaborate? I can't imagine the mental gymnastics you have to go through to think winning a literary award is "damnable."

      It is when that award has become a farce. Bookworm and SF fan for many many decades here. Likely longer than you’ve been alive. Hugo award winner went from “must buy” to “avoid, it’s likely dreck.”

      Yep. Redshirts? LOL Ancillary Justice? Three Body Problem? Anything by N. K. Jemisin? So much in-group garbage.

      I laughed hard at this, sorry. What books do you consider GOOD if your taste is this bad, out of curiosity.

      A Canticle for Leibowitz (Hugo 1961) Man in the High Castle (1963) Dune (1966) Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1967) Ringworld (1971) Forever War (1976) ...basically, every Hugo award winner up to 2000 or 2010 or so.

          Liked Neville’s Ringworld universe. Alastair Reynolds ain’t bad. Neville/Pournelle’s Mote series was great.

          So liking Hugo Award winners before 2010 is bad, but liking them after 2010 is good? At least we both agree that there was a sea change in what the award meant around that point.

          All of those. Love CJ Cherryh. Bujold had some good stuff. Liked Mieville’s and Gaiman’s earlier stuff more than their latter. Neal Stephenson is hit or miss for me.

          Perdido Street Station is the best thing Mieville ever wrote, BTW. Fite me. STILL can’t get those wings out of my head.

          Look at the books the didn't win because there were even better books that year: Dorsai!, The High Crusade, Too Many Magicians, Flowers for Algernon, Slaughterhouse Five, The Mote in God's Eye, Marooned in Real Time. Compare those with the dreck that's won in recent years.

          Solid advice. Last time I looked to the Hugo’s for a recommendation, I ended up reading Way Station by Clifford Simak.
