Which 1996 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?
 
The Terminal Experiment by Robert J. Sawyer
Beggars & Choosers by Nancy Kress
Calde of the Long Sun by Gene Wolfe
Coelestis by Paul Park
Metropolitan by Walter Jon Williams
Mother of Storms by John Barnes
 
Only the Sawyer, the Williams, and the Barnes. I have no idea why
anyone would vote for the Sawyer over the Williams.
 

Wolfe and Sawyer

 

As for the shorter works, I don't remember reading any. While I have the
magazines that most appeared in, I wasn't reading all of them cover to
cover.
