This list contains all Hugo Award winners and Retro-Hugo Awards winners for Best Novel, and any award winners for other categories that I have read. Some years may have ties. The year listed is the year the award was presented.
Books that I finish will be in green, and books that I start but DNF will be in red. Completion dates will be listed at the end. Starting dates are not recorded. If I’m unsure about the date read, I’ll just include the year. A * indicates that I have read the book before, but since I want to re-read it I am not guessing at the original date read. Percentages do not include DNFs.
