I ignore the Hugos. In fact I ignore most awards. They are rarely given for things I like except by the most astounding coincidence.
For Sci-Fi, if it ain't from Baen it probably isn't any good.
Couple of exceptions but mostly true especially for military Sci-Fi.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s (showing my age) they published the Hugo Award winning short stories in a single volume every year. I don’t know if they still do or not.
But, for a few years I bought that book. It was mostly to have something on hand for a quick read. I was going to school and didn’t have the time for a lengthy read.
I rarely read SF anymore. But, when I do it is usually classic SF from the 50’s and 60’s. Even back when I read SF it was stuff that was far older than myself. Most of the newer SF that I did read was unappealing to me.
If you have any suggestions for a SF book, I am open to suggestions. I was reading Heinlein most recently.
