It's funny, I found the three body problem to be challenging and unrewarding to read, which is similar to some of those old Hugo winners. Might have worked better as a novella than a 3 part series.

If I were asked to pick winners from the last 15 years that will still be recommended reads in 2050, I'd pick Ancillary Justice and The Fifth Season. From nominees not winners, perhaps Seveneves or Too Like The Lighting would qualify. The most recent book I can say will definitely be on the to-read list is 2000's winner, Vernor Vince's A Deepness In the Sky
