Location: UK		I've been going a bit slower than anticipated, and still have 14 to read (counting Blackout/All Clear as 2), plus Second Foundation, which I need to read before Foundation's Edge. And right now I'm trying to get through this year's nominees, so at least the list shouldn't grow any longer this year. Although last year I managed to read all but the winner.

I'm trying to save the ones I'm most looking forward to, so I don't end up with a pile of books I don't really want to read. I'm also trying to avoid learning anything about the ones I don't know much about.

Location: Grootfontein, Namibia		I'm down to 8 Hugo winners, but left some monstrosities still to read, like Cyteen, Blackout/All Clear and Jonathan Strange. I've given up the ghost on trying to read all the nominees as well. I go less crazy and suicidal focusing only on winners of the various awards.

Location: UK		I'm only reading this year's nominees because I'm voting. Just the winners will do for previous years.

I have 3.12 nominees to read. (Don't you love the precision of ereaders. ) I'd really like to finish them all this month, so I can do the shorter and related works in July. I'm not sure that's going to leave me time to fit in my GMRC books. I was trying to do roughly one a month for the GMRC. It doesn't leave me much time for other genres, either.

Location: UK		I'm not wholly engaged by my work today (ahem), so I just worked out that I am more than half-way through this year's nominees by page count. The 1.88 books I've read are the two longest books, and it works out at about 54% of the total pages.
