You guys are amazing! I've taken Chela's list which Bob revamped, and revamped
it again. Thanks to everyone who's posted and little bit of spelunking with the
site Fantastic Fiction and through the collection with google searches instead
of using Bookshare's internal search engine, I've found and added links to many
more books, like Martin's Clash of Kings and A Dance with Dragons, more Dune
books, the Bujold series, several of the Conan series by Robert Howard, the
rest of Feist's Riftwar series, Carey's Kushiel series, the Culture Series
books by Banks, the rest of the Farseer Triology by Hobbs and all of the C.S.
Lewis Space Trilogy, and more. I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more,
as a lot of the books in the collection don't have any reference to the series
that they are in within the title.
Bookshare is only missing two of the authors, and for both of those the books
are graphic novels.
It's turning out that almost of all of these books and series are here in the
collection. That's awesome.
I've got a lot of reading to do, I see! grin.
