NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any
NESFA member who reads something that they would like to recommend to others to be
considered for a Hugo nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to
time in Instant Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it provided you
reproduce it intact!) It’s neither definitive nor complete, but it contains the stories,
novels and non-fiction works that a bunch of well-read fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo
nomination.
