Deserted Cities of the Heart by Lewis Shiner
Drowning Towers by George Turner
Great Sky River by Gregory Benford
Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
Red Prophet by Orson Scott Card
The Urth of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe
 I have read all of them. Note that Drowning Towers also appeared as The
Sea and Summer (which is the version I have).
 
Just the Bujold and the Wolfe. We've reached the vast expanse of years where I have read very few of the nominees.[1]

None, which does not surprise me.

[1] I'm surprised at how many of the nominees I've never heard of, mostly in the non-novel categories, but that's surely a "me" thing.
