This is bizarre
Nov. 6th, 2009 11:29 pmI'm getting low on fresh material in my ebook reader, so I went up and browsed the Hugo winners.
And found that I'd already read 3 of the 5 2009 nominees for best novel, and I just started Little Brother. This is weird because normally I have never heard of the books in the list, and have often never even heard of the author - I'm usually running about 10 to 20 years behind in reading stuff. I'm just now starting Incarnations, for instance (or will be, as soon as I finish Moby Dick). Guess I better check the library for a copy of Anathem, though in general I've not been a huge Stephenson fan.
