Sounds like a promising read, the title alone is great!

And I wouldn't mind meeting the Spellsinger on my CyBook, I have enjoyed those novels of Alan Dean Foster as a teenager but they belonged to the library.
I only possess the first two of the series as battered softcovers...

Such a shock, Mr Blue Tyson.

(I remember reading at least a couple of Terry Dowling shorts in the old OMNI science magazine...it might have been mid-to-late 80's. Fascinating stories. I left it a long time, for some reason, but only late last year I finally bought the four Tom Rynosseros books. They're still TBR, but they're very close to the top.)

Cheers,
Marc

My requests -

Ian Fleming (Casino Royale, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice)

Sony and Amazon are the only two shops who seems to have Ian Fleming's James Bond novels as eBooks.

I would love to see more current non-fiction. Specifically, Affluenza by DeGraaf Wann and Naylor, The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko (and the other books in that series), and anything by Bruce Canton.

Euler's Gem is a book that I'd like as an ebook, so much so that I check every few weeks to see if it is offered as such.

cheers,
bill

Yeah. There are a few of his stories online - if you look at his website, or the freesf list in .sig.

Blood Of Ambrose, James Enge.

Dave Berk · 04-27-2009, 12:59 PM

All R. Scott Bakker's books, especially his latest.

Daniel Abraham's books (The first in a series was a TOR freebie).

Phogg · 04-28-2009, 05:15 PM

I would like Max Allan Collins' Nate Heller series.
Also Tidings Of Comfort And Joy by T. Davis Bunn

Blue Tyson · 05-01-2009, 03:54 AM

The rest of Leigh Brackett.

For those who mentioned wanting it, HarperCollins now offers the Grossman translation in multiple formats. That said (see my earlier post/comparison), especially for brits (but really for everyone) I'd say it's worth considering getting the Rutherford translation.
As Rutherford states in his intro:

It's wrong to take even those occasional long sentences in the Quixote with loose structures, and subdivide, tighten and correct them because they are not instances of stylistic carelessness but examples of Cervantes's masterly creation of realistic dialogue: His amused observation of the deleterious effects of natural verbosity, or of passionate interest in the subject under discussion, on the speaker's grammar.

(Latter translation to be found as ePub (Penguin.co.uk) or here (Penguin US, ADE/MSLit/eReader versions).

chinesealbumart · 05-14-2009, 11:15 AM

For me, it would be "Sophie's World".

poohbear_nc · 05-14-2009, 11:42 AM

I'd like anything by Stanislaw Lem.
