2008 Hugo Awards Countdown: Best Related Book

Posted on June 18th, 2008 in Awards

Definition: related book

A book that isn’t a science fiction or fantasy story presented in text (or mostly text). This includes books that present material about the genre, usually in the form of essays or art, as well as picture books and graphic novels.

I must add that the final nominee in this category is rather unique.

Public Domain Clipart optimized for word processors Sunday November 16, 2008
Public domain clip art. Very handy.
SEO Buzz Box & Blog Archive & Do blogroll links bleed pagerank? Sunday November 16, 2008
Blog rolls do not bleed Page Rank and here's why.
A Boys Life - The Atlantic(November 2008) Saturday November 15, 2008
Wonderful and detailed article about transgender children, what being transgender means and how people have dealt with it in the past and the present (for instance, women's colleges accepting transgender men), hope for future America that this may be the first generation where transgender is accepted instead of being called a disease.
Tors Worlds Without Death or Taxes: When is a mainstream publisher also an anti-authoritarian propagandist? When it publishes science fiction. - Reason Magazine Thursday November 13, 2008
SusanVillasLewis takes the words right out of my mouth. Excellent article.
What&8217;s Really Going On With Joe Lieberman & Whatever Thursday November 13, 2008
What really happened with Joe Lieberman. Involves a brown paper bag, a rubber mallet, Obama and his secret service entourage, and the shadow of Rahm Emanuel.
Jindal: Never Vetted for VP - The Fix Wednesday November 12, 2008
Andrew Sullivan says: Smarter than Palin. Yes, by a long shot. Jindal will be entirely untainted by the Bush administration---and unblamed for what seems like an inevitable loss by the Republican side---by turning down being the VP pick for McCain.
The West Wing Episode Guide Wednesday November 12, 2008
A particularly thorough site covering each episode and its information, from credits and awards down to references/allusions and quotes from reviews and interviews.
West Wing: Jumped the Shark? - soc.history.what-if | Google Groups Tuesday November 11, 2008
The original poster of this thread posits that West Wing has totally jumped the shark this year. My favorite quote is "this McCain guy, who apparently has had a complete brain swap with GWB at some point since the '01 primary season story line."
YouTube - Political Roast : Obama Emauel 2005 Tuesday November 11, 2008
Obama at a Roast for Rahm Emanuel, with a hilarious speech in Emanuel's honor. And yes, the part about the middle finger is extremely hilarious. There are many quotes from here I love, the first being "There's only so many ways to say, 'I'd like to rip your head off.'" Ah Emanuel. Too bad we can't see behind the White House walls.
