I don't care if a book has won an award or not. I read a book because it interests me.

A good example of why not to read a book just because it's won an award is Cloud Atlas. It won a Man Booker award and is a lousy book.

And one reason SF may look like it's dropping in popularity is because of the miscatigorization of some that should be listed as SF.
