Over at the Guardian book blog Sam Jordison continues his quest to review every Hugo-winning novel. He is now up to 1958, which means Fritz Leiber’s The Big Time, a book about time travel which, as one of the commenters points out, managed to have a picture of Amy Winehouse on the cover even though she hadn’t been born when it was published. There’s not a lot else to report, but do get on over there and bump up the hit counts, otherwise poor Sam might get the plug pulled on his series before he gets a chance to read some of the better Hugo winners.

Anyone interested in another series of reviews of the Hugo-winning novels should check out http://das-ubernerd.blogspot.com/ . I don’t know the name of the blogger, but he has been reviewing all the Hugo-winning novels chronologically (he’s almost done; he posted a review of the 2006 winner on April 9).
He has also interspersed reviews of the Hugo winners in the short fiction categories (he’s up to 1979) and dramatic presentation (he’s up to 1984), plus a scattering of related book winners from various years.
