[Poll #980885]

Note: "An award" does not mean that you are indiscriminate and will read something just because it won A. N. Award. If you occasionally read books because they win the Whitbread, but couldn't care less about the Nebula winner, tick "yes" for "I have occasionally read a book because it was nominated for or won an award." Similarly, if you've been debating about picking up a book and then an award tips you over the edge, that counts as a yes too. Use your own judgement for what counts as "occasionally" or "often".

I often read books that have been nominated for awards so I can judge which one I should vote for, or to determine how wrong-headed the judges are. Or because I've been invited to appear on a panel discussing a shortlist at a convention, and have undertaken to read the shortlisted books in advance of that.

(And my head still hurts from being compelled to read Gradisil at Eastercon.)

At Eastercon? As in, during the con?
