I've read _Darwinia_ (excellent book) and have just started _To
Say Nothing of the Dog_ (the first 32 pages are good >8).

  Boy, not only have I not read any of the nominees, I've never read
  anything written by any of the nominated authors until you get down
  to the "Related Work" category..

  I sure don't read as much science fiction as I used to..
