I don't. I pick the books I think I might like and buy them. (In fact I'd already read the withdrawn Marko Kloos book before the shortlist came out.)
Since I had read all of the Hugo novel winners I want to try and keep that record, so I would probably have read the winner no matter what, and I do like to see what people actually think is good when they're not trying to make a political point.
Also the Butcher and Anderson books are both late entries in long series (the Anderson is the first in a sequel series, I understand) of which I have read the first book and decided not to continue.
