This Part 1 of a 3-part COMPLETE 29.5GB audiobook collection of all 74 of the Hugo Award winners from 1951 to 2023.

Hugo Award Winners for Best Novel - Part 1 of 3 - 1951 - 1976 MP3 AudioBooks

Hugo Award Winners for Best Novel - Part 3 of 3 - 2002 - 2023 MP3 AudioBooks

MOST of the audiobooks are chapterized. ALL of them are MP3s of varying bitrates.

From the Wikipedia page: Hugo Award for Best Novel

> The Hugo Award for Best Novel is one of the Hugo Awards given each year for science fiction or fantasy stories published in, or translated to, English during the previous calendar year. The novel award is available for works of fiction of 40,000 words or more; awards are also given out in the short story, novelette, and novella categories. The Hugo Awards have been described as “a fine showcase for speculative fiction”, and “the best known literary award for science fiction writing”.

> The Hugo Award for Best Novel has been awarded annually by the World Science Fiction Society since 1953, except in 1954 and 1957. In addition, beginning in 1996, Retrospective Hugo Awards or “Retro-Hugos” have been available for works published 50, 75, or 100 years prior. Retro-Hugos may only be awarded for years after 1939 in which no awards were originally given. To date, Retro-Hugo awards have been given for novels for 1939, 1941, 1943–1946, 1951, and 1954.

Like many collections, this one builds on the shoulders of another that included the Hugo winners from 1951 to 2010. I added the novels since 2010. I’m grateful to the creator of the original torrent, and also the creators all of the post-2010 torrents. THANK YOU!

Part 1 of this collection includes 2 of the 8 Retro-Hugos novels — the 1951 designated winner, Heinlein’s Farmer in the Sky, and the 1954 winner, Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 — because they were in the original 1951-2010 torrent.

The audiobook bitrate varies from 32 kbps to 128 kbps. Each of the 74 audiobooks has the bitrate and other information attached to the title. For example, the newest Hugo Award winner (eleven days ago!):

2023 - T. Kingfisher - Nettle & Bone [64k 09;03;47 250MB]

The book’s bitrate is 64kbps; it is 9 hours, 3 minutes and 47 seconds long; and it occupies 250MB on the hard drive.

The download has a “Key” folder at the top to refresh your memory:

0 Key; [{bitrate in kbps}k {duration in hours;minutes;seconds} {size in MB or GB}]

- Enjoy!

avatarVery interesting uploads, thanks! Would prefer not chapterized but it is what it is and can always just combine the split mp3s of course. Curious why its chapterized I know german audiobooks used to be like this before Audible, but for english content I rarely seen it

avatarI prefer chapterized because when I realize that I haven't been attentive and want to listen to a part again, I can just go back to the beginning of the chapter. For my own purposes, for the same reason, when I have a one-file audiobook I run a program that cuts it up into 5-minute segments.

Why do you prefer one file
