No. Commercial eBooks are fine - the only rule is that it has to be available as a legal eBook.

I was going to suggest The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein but Can't find a legal eBook version of it.
I'll still like to suggest one of his books, Either Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein or Double Star - Robert Heinlein Which are really good reads, and reasonably good introductions to his work (though Moon is obviously the best ) Otherwise, I'll suggest one of the SF golden oldies by Asimov like Foundation by Isaac Asimov |

I'll be needing the poll to run longer then just up to the 20th. I'll be away for vacation and I won't be online as much while I am away. So just having it be fromt he 19th to the 20th is not going to be good. Have it run until the 25th and that will be ok for me. I know I can vote in that time period.

Bob - that's three votes for "Time Machine". Can you add it to the first post, please?

I second or third or whatever Stranger in a Strange Land. Always wanted to read that one.
I never did see the discussion thread for December though. |

I will third 1632... though I just read it, so I hope you don't mind if I don't read it again .
One warning about 1632.. it works fine as a stand a lone novel... but there are have been a number of sequels, both novels and shorter fiction.... and the number is growing, practically on a daily basis. If you get hooked on the series, well... it could take a prominent place on your reading list for a while. -- Bill |
