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 <a href="/web/20170709094531/http://www.nesfa.org/information/imdoc.html"><cite>Instant Message</cite></a> 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.</p> <p>Even when the period for Hugo nominations is over, we will keep the lists for the current year, as well as previous years, available on the nets. It provides a reference source for finding a good book, as well as for Hugo recommendations.</p> <p>Lists for a given year tend to get updated until the Hugo finalists for that year are released, so that 2016 lists, for example, will be updated through early 2017.</p> <p>The reading lists for the following years are available:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/https://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/nesfa-2016-hugo-recommendations">2016</a> <– the year which will be awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.worldcon.fi/">Worldcon 75</a> in August 2017</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/https://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/nesfa-2015-hugo-recommendations">2015</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/https://midamericon2.org/">MidAmeriCon II</a> in August 2016</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/https://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/nesfa-2014-hugo-recommendations">2014</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sasquan.org//">Sasquan</a> in August 2015</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/2013">2013</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.loncon3.org/">Loncon 3</a> in August 2014</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/2012">2012</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.lonestarcon3.org/">Lone Star Con 3</a> in September 2013</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/2011">2011</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.chicon.org/">Chicon 7</a> in September 2012</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/2010">2010</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.renovationsf.com/">Renovation</a> in August 2011</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://sites.google.com/site/nesfareadinglists/home/2009">2009</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.aussiecon4.org.au/">Aussiecon 4</a> in September 2010</li> <li><a href="hugos08.html">2008</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.anticipationsf.ca/">Anticipation</a> in August 2009</li> <li><a href="hugos07.html">2007</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.fanac.org/Denvention3">Denvention 3</a> in August 2008</li> <li><a href="hugos06.html">2006</a> <– the year which was awarded at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.nippon2007.org/">Nippon 2007</a> in September 2007</li> <li><a href="hugos05.html">2005</a></li> <li><a href="hugos04.html">2004</a></li> <li><a href="hugos03.html">2003</a></li> <li><a href="hugos02.html">2002</a></li> <li><a href="hugos01.html">2001</a></li> <li><a href="hugos00.html">2000</a></li> <li><a href="hugos99.html">1999</a></li> <li><a href="hugos98.html">1998</a></li> <li><a href="hugos97.html">1997</a></li> <li><a href="hugos96.html">1996</a></li> <li><a href="hugos95.html">1995</a></li> <li><a href="hugos94.html">1994</a></li> <li><a href="hugos93.html">1993</a></li> <li><a href="hugos92.html">1992</a></li> <li><a href="hugos53.html">1953</a> <i><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170709094531/http://www.noreascon.org/">Noreascon 4</a> awarded the Retro-Hugos for 1953 in 2004</i></li> <li><a href="hugos50.html">1950</a> <i>Millennium Philcon awarded the Retro-Hugos for 1950</i></li> <li><a href="hugos45.html">1945</a> <i>L.A.
