30 August 2007 -- jam
NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA member who reads
something that they would like to recommend to others to be considered for a Hugo
nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to time in Instant
Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it provided you reproduce it intact!)
It's neither definitive nor complete, but it contains the stories, novels and non-fiction
works that a bunch of well-read fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination.
These are items published in 2006 and eligible for the Hugos to be presented at
Nippon 2007, Aug. 30 - Sep. 3, 2007,
Yokohama Japan. Here's the list for 2005 and the
list for 2007. For more about the Hugos, see
