SF-Fantasy Award Winners Ranked

This is my ranking for all the SF and fantasy books I've read that won awards. Most won Hugo (fan) or Nebula (writers) awards. I'm trying to read all these first, sometimes others look interesting.

The others listed are World Fantasy, British SF, P.K. Dick Award (novels), Arthur C. Clarke Award, and John Campbell Award. I'm not listing awards with a political bias, such as feminism or libertarian themed awards, which exist. [I have one: if there was an award for a black protagonist, they wouldn't be able to give it every year.  The Year of the Quiet Sun is the first one I read, published in 1970, winner of a retro John Campbell Award, very deservedly even if belated. Kevin McLeod's Cassini Division has a black female protagonist - stop the presses!]

I would only recommend the first 76 of these (Riddley Walker is the cutoff).

Many of these (the bottom third) I found to be boring, political propaganda, even if I agreed with the politics or economics, "zzzz..." For me a novel has to have good pace, not be long just to be wordy or "epic". In fact, in my top 20, the first really lengthy novel is Connie Willis' time travel masterpiece Doomsday Book, then each of the Mars trilogy by Kim Robinson is also a bit long. For me, tell the story, and get it out, already..

The number (2) denotes the sequence order within a series.. don't read a (2) before the (1), unless you just live life with reckless abandon..

** = newest additions

This is a great book. If written 2000 years ago,
it would be 'scripture', but it's even better.

[I usually find popular works, i.e. Dune, to be as mediocre as you'd expect to gain a public consensus of approval - think about it a minute.. the new one is Game of Thrones, no different than the historical French six-novel series of 13th century monarchy they are based upon - Martin admitted it already.. hey: throw in a dragon or unicorn, it suddenly becomes "fantasy", lol.. or, throw in a detective, it becomes "mystery/noir" and a potential best-seller if you remove the SF elements, i.e. James Sallis.. who is excellent in either genre, read Cypress Grove and you'll see]
