This was a bit of an off-year for me. I've only read the Piercy,
the Robinson, the Willis, and the Swanwick.

1993 was my last calendar year of college, and I was (cough) rather
impecunious and having difficulty with my studies.  I was buying used
paperbacks if anything.[1]  Probably spent more time reading flamewars
in this very newsgroup[2] than I did actually reading SF.

I have at least *heard* of the Robinson, the Willis, and the Swanwick.
Haven't read any of them.

[1] I was living three blocks from the main public library, much
closer even than the university library, but I was spending most of my
time in the CS "fishbowl" and have basically no memory of ever
visiting the public library at that time.

[2] And figuring out how to download porn from the nascent copyright
violation newsgroups that would go on to kill Usenet for all but the
most dedicated users a decade later.
