I like some of the older authors like Harlan Ellison and Joe Haldeman. And,
true that bookshare has most of their books, but most of these gems were
submitted when we had less emphasis on quality than we have now.
Plus, if you are a true science fiction fan you can't have to many sources
of good reading matter.

The Baen library has Incandescence by Greg Egan while Bookshare does not. If
there is one example, there are probably others.
