Since they purvey goods from all over the world, the website is a good repository for Esperanto books, especially since you can buy them used. I recommend searching for &#8220;Esperanto books&#8221; in the little search bar at the top. However, if you&#8217;re feeling less adventurous, two conscientious users have assembled lists of worthwhile books. One is by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Best-books-in-Esperanto\/lm\/5YV5W7POQ58R\">someone named akompano<\/a>. While I haven&#8217;t heard of him or her, that person has heard of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Halld%C3%B3r_Laxness\">Halldor Laxness<\/a>, so I&#8217;m a fan! The other list is compiled by the talented <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Esperanto-Fiction-Books-Amazon-com\/lm\/R1VSYILCXXVNZ4\">Tim Westover<\/a>, author of the short story collection <em>Marvirinstrato<\/em>.
