Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: UK		I just finished Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (maybe the most major SF book I hadn't already read?) to complete this challenge and also to complete all of my challenges due in 2015. Hurrah.

My 12 were:

Tehanu - Ursula le Guin - Locus Fantasy
Throne of the Crescent Moon - Saladin Ahmed - Locus First Novel
The Heir of Night - Helen Lowe - Morningstar
Ancillary Sword - Ann Leckie - Locus SF
The Separation - Christopher Priest - Clarke
The Moment of Eclipse - Brian Aldiss - BSFA
Tooth and Claw - Jo Walton - World Fantasy
The Three-Body Problem - Cixin Liu - Hugo
Timescape - Gregory Benford - Campbell
Some Kind of Fairy Tale - Graham Joyce - Holdstock
Sabriel - Garth Nix - Aurealis Fantasy
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes - Nebula

Hard to pick a favourite. Moment of Eclipse was maybe the one I got the least out of.

Is there any appetite for this challenge in 2016? Maybe with an additional level of reading one winner from each tracked award?

Edit - just had a look and 25 tracked awards plus Tiptree makes this a challenging aim indeed, maybe stick to 12 ha ha
