Which 1982 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?
 
The Claw of the Conciliator by Gene Wolfe
Little, Big by John Crowley
Radix by A. A. Attanasio
Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban
The Many-Colored Land by Julian May
The Vampire Tapestry by Suzy McKee Charnas
 
I have read all of them. I would have picked either the Crowley or
the Hoban over the Wolfe, but only because I don't think the Wolfe
stands on its own. 

I did not enjoy the beginning of the Book of the New Sun for its stilted
style and content but over the years I have heard so much in favour of
it that in February last year, I read Shadow and Claw but was not
inspired to continue. However, I have read Little,Big three times and it
is a five star favourite.
