I don't think I can afford a membership this year, which is a pity because I'd really like to vote for Doc Smith in the retros.
In the contemporary novels, I've read the Stross and Correia, I like both authors but neither book struck me as Hugo-worthy. I'm also disgusted about one of the people Correia had on his "slate." I haven't read the Mira Grant (I like her work under Seanan McGuire but not Mira Grant), and don't see the point of WoT (I faded out about 6 or 7 books in many years ago).
I just started Ancillary Justice the other night, and it's very good so far. I'm not sure if it's exactly my cup of tea, but it's clearly the most Hugo-worthy of the ones I've read. (I'm including WoT in that group because I figure 3000+ pages is more than enough to make a decision.)
