Hmmm.. 1984 never won a Nebula. They only started in 1965! Maybe a librarian can remove it?

As far as I can tell, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Martian Chronicles, and Passage didn't win either.
I added the 2012 winner, Among Others.I also deleted 1984 and Martian Chronicles since they are NOT Nebula winners. (They were published before the Nebula started in 1965.)
Lee, as I mentioned, Among Others is the newest winner just announced last week: http://www.sfwa.org/nebula-awards/
#11 in my own voting or list would be: 'No Enemy But Time' by MICHAEL BISHOP, which won the Nebula after its 1982 publication, and has become a neglected, important novel. It could still strike a chord in any reader. The novel's illustration of the psychological costs of U.S. racism was fairly unique at the time, and proved the talent of Michael Bishop, a white author and professor living in Pine Mountain, GA (and nicer than almost anyone you could meet in the SF field). The novel's protagonist is a disaffected young baby-boom era African-American man, who, as an Army brat, grew up rootless. He dreams of prehistoric Africa. Air Force scientists carrying out a secret government experiment in Africa are able to send John Monegal, a.k.a. Joshua Kampa back in time to the Early Pleistocene era in Central Africa. Once there, he actually adapts and finds family and love.
No Enemy But Time by Michael Bishop was definitely one of the better nebula winners (in 1982) by my memory - removing the wrong copy of this book.
Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book. But it was published in 1961. The first Nebula was in 1965 and was Dune. Removing Stranger in a Strange Land.
If you have never read "Rite of Passage" by Panshin, it is worth trying to get your hands on a copy. I have a copy I might lend out if you have good references and credit history ;) Excellent coming of age story.
Sawyer's The Terminal Experiment: worst of the Nebula-winning novels? I finished it, but barely. A solid "D."
Reversed Order Existence: Reversed Order Series (Book 1) is getting spam votes into many lists. Here it can be removed.
