[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".

For me, that's "often" as in if I'm voting for the BSFA or (in a year when I'm voting) the Hugo awards, I'll try to read all (or as near all as I can) of the shortlist before voting. And the occasional book that's won or been nominated for the Clarke, the Nebula or (in my non-voting years) the Hugo if it looks like something I would enjoy and have not read already.

Of course, there are also the books that move up my reading list because I think I might want to nominate them.
