I was going to stop at four simply because I could go on and on but had to add the Callahan Chronicles because they are just pleasant Social-SF reading offering a chance to look at the world from a different POV...but anything by Abbey and Effinger (at least Budayeen Nights is there but I feel it's better to read When Gravity Fails first) |

I would love to get You're Stepping on My Cloak and Dagger by Roger Hall -- a side-splittingly funny account of being in the OSS during WWII. I read it as a teenager, as it was recommended to me by my dad who was a WWII vet with a great sense of humor, and I couldn't stop laughing. Now that my eyes are no longer young, I really want to read it again, but it needs to be in digital form for that.

In the '60s John Gardner wrote a series of books about a reluctant spy named Boysie Oakes, the most famous of which was the first, called The Liquidator.
None of the Boysie Oakes books are available as ebooks, and I wish they all were. |

I'm just going to list authors: Heinlein, Bradbury, Steinbeck. I'd like to see their entire catalogs available. (some probably are available)

Heir to the Empire
Dark Force Rising The Last Command These Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn were the first and best. While a lot of the newer books in the Star Wars Universe are "meh", these 3 really kept the spirit of the movies alive. I read them way back when they first came out and would love to revisit them on the Kindle. |

The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery The Vampire Lestat series by Anne Rice The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger The Stranger, by Albert Camus |

I would love it if all of Ray Bradbury's work became available in ebook format (although he doesn't seem to be too thrilled with the idea, apparently...)

I'd love to see:
Romance of the Three Kingdoms - the newer edition with all the commentary and footnotes the Basil of Baker Street Series by Eve Titus The Fireshaper's Doom series by Tom Deitz. I loaned my pbooks to a friend just before she found drugs, and the dippy things are out of print now. |
