What printed Book do you want as an ebook? - Page 5

M0zza · 06-02-2008, 04:19 PM

I second (third? fourth? lost track) for Robert Jordan. I'd also like to see *ahem* the Harry Potter series... For my wife. Not me. My Wife. Please no flaming. I know that won't happen though. JK is no friend to ebooks.

Also

On my way to paradise by Dave Wolverton, anything by Tom Sharpe, All The Flashman series, Patrick O'Brien, C.S. Forester. etc.

Not all available, sadly. Something like 80% of her books seem to be currently available as eBooks. Hopefully the rest will appear in due course.

All books by Carlos Castaneda

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian

Larry McMurtry

Yes, yes, and yes. I like a good Western now and then. They are the prototype for SF.

westerns are the prototype for SF ?? i'm not contradicting you (mainly because i've not read very much SF, and no westerns at all, so what do i know) but could you explain that please ?

Taylor514ce · 06-04-2008, 09:24 AM

A lonesome hero in an alien/wild landscape using state of the art weaponry to battle villainy?

yeah ok then, that makes sense. (particularly the last one

)

zelda_pinwheel · 06-04-2008, 10:13 AM

i would like the Nestor Burma detective books by Léo Malet, particularly as they are still in copyright (and will be for a loooooong time : Malet died in 1996) but are nonetheless old enough (the first one was published in 1943) to be getting quite hard to find in paper. in fact they might even be out of print, since almost all of the available copies online are used (except for the more recent omnibus editions).

stxopher · 06-05-2008, 03:41 PM

All of Stanislaw Lems work but most wanted would be the Cyberiad and Memoirs Found in a Bathtub.

Ghormanghast. (Hey, don't judge me!)

Cities in Flight by Blish.

(sorry but all my tastes are simple.)

daffy4u · 06-05-2008, 03:44 PM

I haven't read the whole thread but I would like The Stand by Stephen King. I'd also like an audiobook version of it as well. It's my favorite book and one of the very few I've re-read (if I know the ending I can't read it again).

MickeyC · 06-08-2008, 10:07 AM

'Red Storm Rising' by Tom Clancy

GeoffC · 06-08-2008, 10:17 AM

Julian Jay Savarin : Lemmus - A Time Trilogy

WDecraene · 06-25-2008, 07:37 AM

I'm rather partial to the work of Samuel Shellabarger but only two of them ("Prince of Foxes" and "Captain of Castille") are in print these days. I'd love to see the other ones as an e-book !!

I concur, and I'd add _Tales of Pirx the Pirate_ to the most wanted list.

I don't. I have _Gormenghast_, _Titus Groan_, and _Titus Alone_ in paper editions.

Goodness, yes. Almost anything by Blish. Add _A Case of Conscience_ to the must list.

Not from my viewpoint.
