Hi all,
I went through my father's sci-fi library and found 31 books not on the site
and 35 books to replace fair and good books already in the collection. I'll be
slowly working on these, submitting them to the download list over the next few
weeks and months. One of the first books to go in will be Ursula K. LeGuin's
classic The Left Hand of Darkness. I was horror-struck to discover we don't
have it. Ack! Are there any more great classics like that one that we're
missing? We've got most of the classic authors - lots of Heinlein, Asimov,
Clarke, Niven, Silverberg, Bova, Pohl, Farmer, Silverberg, Lieber, etc. Just
hope we're not missing any of their seminal books!
Anyway, I'll list the new books and the books to be replaced here. If anyone
is working on any of these, PLEASE tell me and I'll yank it out of the queue
pronto. No sense duplicating efforts! The books are in order by author's last
name.
