Hugo Award-winning novels are considered the highest quality works out there in the realm of science fiction and fantasy.
In 2020 I made a pointed effort to read all of the winners of the award. This website lists all winners of the Hugo award, and where I stand in reading all of them.
This list was inspired by Henry Desroches's "Peaks" tracking.
