Books that Should be Written

(and who should write them)
Which Books are Missing?

For several years now, we have been collecting the titles of books we would love to read, but are missing from the bookstores and library shelves. We have carefully paired up 100 titles that we would like to read with the authors we think should write them. Many, we believe, should be written by the people of New Monia, Pennsylvania, but not all. Read through them and see if you agree with us.

If we didn't include your favorite, please send it to us via our Contact Page, and we will give it our full consideration. New additions are marked by a bullet (•).
