I know The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carré isn't available in the US as an ebook, but it can be had as a pbook. |

Uh oh. I thought that availability as an eBook in the US was a requirement. If it's not, I've got a terrific nomination in mind.

I could be wrong but I don't think being an ebook in the US is a requirement this month.
If that's the case, I will also second (or third if it's already seconded) The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. I'm intrigued that it's on those lists of great books. If it's the third in a series, will we be lost if we haven't read the other two though? Or will it be easy enough to pick up? |

Sorry - I didn't mean that it invalidates the nomination, but such information might be pertinent to those voting. I know I wouldn't vote for a book that is not available legally as an ebook in Australia for example.

The Chamber by John Grisham? I've read it but I would re-read it. It was fairly good. Suspense

Well, even though The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is not available as an e-book in the U.S. (is it elsewhere?), have no fear U.S. citizens, because as it came up in search results, The Dog Who Came In From The Cold and The Prostitute Who Came In From The Cold are both available as e-books in the U.S.!

I'll nominate John Grisham's The Firm. It is an eBook and it is available in the US.

No love for The Eiger Sanction? I thought that was supposed to be a great one.
