Zora Neale Hurston, William Faulkner
Two authors that are missing and definitely are classics, both in novels and short stories. Where and why aren't they here?

Great suggestions. A few of Zora Neale Hurston's works are old enough that they are no longer protected by copyright, so we can add those to our list of books to make available.
However, many of her works and all of Faulkner's stories and novels are too new to be freely available in the public domain. We'd love to have Faulkner on the site but acquiring the rights to do so is quite difficult.May 31, 2009 2:25 pm

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the Hurston works! She deserves to be better known, now on your site she will be. A valuable service this site is for everyone who is a serious reader.

I agree about Hurston. I enjoyed Their Eyes Were Watching God and recommend it to lots of people!

I notice that there is no anthropology category under books. Since Hurston was an anthropologist perhaps we could use one of her book to start that category? She also wrote plays, although I'm not sure of publishing dates.
