SF reading suggestions (Score 1)

Hugo winners are a good way to start, Nebula winners not so much. That's more of a popularity club for members of SFFWA. Your best bet, besides libraries or newsgroups, is to find a local sf club, usually one that runs a local SF convention. Many have reading groups which are an excellent source of new books to look for. Also, if you have an independant book or comic store that specializes in SF/Fantasy, talk to the employees. They actually read books unlike B&N employees. Bookdealers at cons are also a great source. You can usually tell them what authors you've liked, or the kind of book you like, and they'll recommend something you should enjoy.
