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. |

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

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).

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.) |

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).

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 !!
