• Which 1969 Nebula Finalists Have You Read

    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 5 15:11:07 2024
    Another Monday, another round of "Which Nebula Award finalists have you
    read?"

    The symbols I used elsewhere don't work here (or at least the check
    mark does not). I will post a full list, then the list of things I've
    read. As far as 1969 goes, either I've read it or I have never heard
    of it.

    It appears, as for previous years, that the finalists that I have read
    are a subset of the ones you had read.

    I have not read the Laumer or McLaughlin

    (_World's best science fiction 1969_ did well in their choices!)
