The selection of short listed books are usually much more interesting then the Hugo award which is a popularity contest. But this year I though the Hugo nominated books was better... I usually try to read the Clarke award nominated books since I go to Eastercons (British National Science Fiction Convention) and they have a panel discussing the books and guessing who will win.
