#46 To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip José Farmer

Yet another Hugo winner I hadn't read until it came upon the book club. I haven't even seen the 2 separate movies that were made out of it. The premise was interesting but I didn't care for any of the characters at all. The ending left more questions unanswered and I still wasn't sure even after the discussion if they get answered in the later books.

Must've been slim pickings that year.
