Then I did a count of Hugo novel winners for the last 40 years. 14:40. That is 35%, so in reality the Hugos aren't doing all that badly.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290731721638936110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-2436984620141172112010-09-09T16:21:42.726-07:002010-09-09T16:21:42.726-07:00I really liked Act One.

But I think I was most disappointed by the result in the Best Related Book category.<br /><br />The best thing about the two works titled "Palimpsest" was that the presenter of the shorter category couldn't say it and made some crack about unpronounceable names being allowed for shorter works (implying: but not novels).

I think Will McIntosh pushed all the right buttons to get a large segment of the vote since many of the women I spoke to were voting for it especially due to its romantic content.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290731721638936110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-41845272905405174742010-09-06T22:23:21.479-07:002010-09-06T22:23:21.479-07:00I am going to Reno too!
