Huh...

I was thinking, "Okay there's Les Miserables but I can't think of any other Hugo novels"

Seems like an odd name for a sci-fi list. That'd be like having the Roddenberry list of blaxploitation films.

The Hugos are sci-fi book awards, and the books on the list are the award winners, which is why it's called the Hugo list - but don't ask me why the awards are called Hugos in the first place!

Hugo Gernback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Gernsback)

That should have been Gernsback.

Comes from Hugo Gernsback an early SF magazine editor.

I can't do this kind of meme

because I'm bad at remembering titles. I know I've read at least 5 of those - but it may be closer to 15 or 20.

OTOH, I've read around 20 of them and will use the remainder of the titles (minus the Bujold) as a to-do list.

'62, '66, '67, '68, '70, '75, '83.

I used to read a lot of SciFi; I don't read much any more. Except absolutely anything by LeGuin (and why is she only on this list twice?).
