Although it was posted a while ago, I thought I would put up the link for the upcoming Hugo awards. (In case you missed it)

I wonder if anyone has read any of the novels, short stories, etc.What do you think of them? Any that you recommend?

I guess that all of this years nominees are British. American SF is in somewhat of a lull on the world stage. Let me know if you have anything to say on these.
