What are your favorites of all the Hugo novels? Julia -------------------------------------------- Tough question! I'll pick my top five in no particular order. - 1978 Gateway Frederick Pohl - 1988 The Uplift War David Brin - 1962 Stranger in a Strange Land Robert A. Heinlien - 1971 Ringworld Larry Niven - 1976 The Forever War Joe Haldeman If you really press me for an absolute favorite, I'd give a slight nod to "Stranger in a Strange Land." Worst (IMO) tie - 1958 The Big Time Fritz Leiber - 1963 The Man in the High Castle Philip K. Dick Nebula Winners still to Read - 1966 Babel-17 Samuel R. Delany - 1968 Einstein Intersection Samuel R. Delany - 1971 A Time of Changes Robert Silverberg - 1981 The Claw of the Conciliator Gene Wolfe - 1987 The Falling Woman Pat Murphy - 1990 Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea Ursula K. LeGuin - 1999 Parable of the Talents Octavia E. Butler - 2001 The Quantum Rose Catherine Asaro George A _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
