Hugo and Nebula Awards discussion

I have added all of the books to the "To Read" list. Joe, I know you suggested maybe starting with the newest and working backward. I like this, except for the two books by Orson Scott Card. I suggest we switch those around, since "Speaker For The Dead" is a sequel to "Ender's Game."
Other than that, I did notice that one or two of the books are the second in a series, so when we get closer to those, I might check out the first in the series. Might be helpful to read that one first.
And there are several others that are the first in a series, so this might open up some new series for your interests!
Overall, I'm really looking forward to reading these, and welcome to anyone else who ends up joining!

I say we just add them to the list. It's gonna get us closer to a one-book-every-two-weeks pace, but I'm ok with that if everyone else is.

Anyway, thanks for setting this up Jaime. I'm looking forward to working through the books on this list and reading what other folks have to say about them.

I don't think they should be added to the list. But my comments will assume that you've read book 1.

I agree with Kristin. Since the official goal is to do the Hugo/Nebula winners, then we just have those in the group listing.

Joe, you're welcome. Thanks for coming up with the idea!

I am going to add a start date for each book every two weeks. Obviously these aren't official, since you can read at your own pace, but at least this way they will show up in the "Upcoming Books" list.

Yeah, I think you guys are right about not adding the extra books to our list.

With regard to discussion and spoilers, I'd like to suggest that we make 2 folders/threads for each book. One for general discussion of the non-spoiler variety, another for the full, post book discussion.

What do you guys think?

I like the idea, Joe. I'll get around to adding those threads sometime soon. Unless someone else is feeling super motivated and wants to do it. Otherwise, probably by this weekend
