Hugo novels I have read

[stonebender]

I thought I'd read quite a few. I was a little surprised at the ones I'd missed. I don't like Bujold. Read Falling Free which I hated. I gotta start readng some Leiber and Bester!

WOW!

I think I have only red maybe 5 or 6 of them on the list and I think you gave me all but one of them*grins*

I'd encourage you to give Bujold another try. "Ethan of Athos" and "Falling Free" are different in tone than her other works. I don't actually like either of them, although I recognize that, in terms of literary merit, they're better than most of her other stuff. But everything else she's written is much, much more fun.

Actually, the first book I read of hers was Ethan which didn't impress me. Falling was the straw. I may try her again someday, which would probably please wild_irises. I'm in now hurry. Lot's of good stuff to read and reread!

Heh.

You read her two literary, thoughtful works, which are about social ramifications of various ways of setting up cultures -- very thoughtful, intelectual, and dry as dust.

Everything else she writes is guns-blazing space opera with the space pirates and the explosions and the gunfights and the wa-heyGLAVEN.

That's what I've been told. :) Can't remember much about Ethan. I read Falling as decidedly anti independent living.

I'm sorry you didn't like Falling Free. I loved it! I was just disappointed that there wasn't a sequel or two.

Up through 1980, I've read all but 1 (Way Station). The 1980s have three (Cyteen, Uplift War and Snow Queen) that I started but never finished for one reason or another. From 1990 on my list would nearly match yours, the exceptions being that I've not read Green Mars or the two Vinges.

Conclusion: somewhere in the early 90s I lost touch with the SF zeitgeist.
