Today? Crap.
Only ones I've read are the Bujold book and the Sawyer book. Bujold book GOOD, Sawyer book EVIL.
I'm sure some of the others are worthy as well, but I didn't realize voting had to be done today...
Darn. I'd like to give the others a fair shake, but...assuming I can get my PIN, I'll vote Bujold. Simmons book have heard good things though.
Haven't read any of the other categories. Don't like Gordon Van Gelder for editor. The rest are cool people...
Movie: I'd have to go for Finding Nemo!
TV: the 2 Firefly ones weren't aired at all...didn't see them, but I liked a lot about that show, except episode 3 (aired). Smallville ep wasn't that great...
Oh. For Retro Hugo I'd probably go with Fahrenheit 451. Caves of Steel is great, and MIssion of Gravity is good, and I did not like Childhood's End, and I've actually not read More than Human.
Not sure on Novella. For Novelette probably Dick. Short Story...the Clarke story is definitely famous, but I don't remember what it's about.
Anyway, my flight details:
Arrive (Delta) BOS 9:37 AM Sept 2
Depart (Delta) BOS 3:30 PM Sept 7
I'm routing through Cincinnati airport. (Which, by the way, is in Kentucky by about half an hour.)
