I haven't seen one. Wouldn't be a bad idea. But then we wouldn't have all this fun and community building going on every time someone new shows up and asks for a recommendation
And we all start circling him like sharks around a raft - and tossing out favorites hehehe... :P But every once in a while, there's this great discussion that takes place.
You know about the Hugo awards and nominees at wikipedia and I'm sure you can find Project Gutenberg
Here's a few you might not have run across.
There's this
Locus Magazine thingie that has many tools -
Historical Novel Society
SF Site which has so many lost and hidden corners that the site mgr is afraid to make changes. Some good reviews there.
Fantastic Fiction with all it's bibliographies. Somewhat redundant with wikipedia but it has it's own flavor and charm and a few extra things. This is where I go to see what else someone has written.
An alternate window into the Fictionwise bookstore that I find easier to read is through
Wildside Press 's Ebook store which is really just a better looking FW storefront - but I swear it works better!
The Detective and the Toga Not specifically ebook related but most of these authors now are getting their new books ebook'd.. If only the publishers go back and do the older ones :P But they don't because they don't sell as well.
Ditto - what I said above about Ancient World mysteries but now coming to a boat dock near you!
McBook's Press Nautical Fiction.
Ibiblio - non-fiction
db.etree and the
Internet Archive Why? Because reading ebooks isn't only about ebooks, sometimes it's about learning and these are occasionally useful sites that are related to digital text (and music and etc.)
But they're part of the 80% of the web that the big search engines like google and yahoo aren't allowed to access.
There's a few to explore
