I generally keep up and manage to find new authors every year. Heck, I even read Ready, Player One when it came out, read and liked Red Shirt before it won.
I'm really not into dark dystopia for the most part. Occasionally, I run into one that I find interesting, but more times than not, I get a couple of chapters in, then move on to the next book in my to be read stack.
I generally do check out books in the Hugo list with the idea to trying them out, but if the plot summery doesn't appeal to me and the reviews high light things that I don't find very interesting, then I look for other books to read.
