If anyone is interested, here is the list of joint winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_joint_winners_of_the_Hu...

I always find this list tremendously useful when I don't know what to read next.

Another very valuable source of new material for me has been The Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies[1].

Perfect for finding new interesting writers (Bacigalupi was one of the nicest discoveries)

Dozois has a knack for picking great stories. The saddest part is that it's tricky to get past editions; when I find an old edition I don't have at a used book store it's terribly exciting, especially since the quality has been so consistent over the years.

I've had pretty good success picking them up in digital formats - not sure if you prefer the paperback version, but if you're okay reading it on a screen you can get all of them digital.

Likewise - This is how I recently found 'The Windup Girl' by Paolo Bacigalupi; thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

I agree. Just finished reading it. An amazing book, and an unusual setting.
