My ongoing reading 'project': read every book which has ever won the Hugo award for best novel. I hope to maintain the list of read/unread by updating this post as I go along; as of now I have read 17, 6 of those this year. I know some of these books may be difficult to get hold of (in particular I know The Forever Machine, which has the reputation of being easily the worst book ever to win a Hugo, is). Hopefully more will be available second hand, or for the borrowing.
