They are already translated and compiled into one book. https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Escalation-Confrontation/dp/1611720052/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480095418&sr=8-1&keywords=gundam+novel
They are out of stock as of now but you can order for when they get more in.
Well, it's certainly more rare than this printing.
In any case, I remember my middle school's library had these particular books. I was pretty stoked to read them, then got a pretty big surprise when I read Amuro boned Sayla and ends up dying. So much for Zeta and CCA.
Just the three for 0079

For light reads, there are All You Need Is Kill with its take on alien monster invasions and groundhog day-like time loop, and Kino no Tabi which has chapters that explore some interesting sci-fi themes.
There are also Legend of the Galactic Heroes and the original Gundam's novel adaptation, but I wouldn't say that they're fit for light reads.

I think the English translation of Tomino's 0079 books (Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation) are out of print again. You can buy the compilation used for around $15. You could also try your local library (they may be more likely to have The Origin series).Update: It seems that they are still in print. Amazon only has a couple but says more are on the way.
Here's the Google Books link where you can preview the book.
Edit: Goodreads page. "A Great Read" -Asian Reporter
I know, I've read these. But the edition I have is a later version with corrected spelling.
This one
I love it when people listen and are open to things that they have not read. http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Escalation-Confrontation/dp/1611720052
Mobile Suit Gundam (the original series)
One of the most underrated sci-fi series of all time. Below is the link to the novels that inspired the anime series. If you’re into novels.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation https://www.amazon.com/dp/1611720052/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_52hxCbFHTQW33
If you’re into manga or anime, HIGHLY recommend reading the origin series. It’s a more fleshed out version of the 1979 anime series. There’s 12 volumes I believe. Read the reviews for some perspective.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Vol. 1- Activation https://www.amazon.com/dp/193565487X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_35hxCbD65GJPM
Gundam has so many series that it can seem overwhelming to approach. The manga above is a great way to get into the main series. Space-opera, compelling characters, the lines of good vs bad are blurred. It’s commentary that frighteningly mirrors our society written by people who grew up in the post-WWII/post-Atomic bomb drop in Japan era. The over arching theme is that despite the tragedy that is war, there is an inherent goodness that humans are capable of.
Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, and Confrontation is a Yoshiyuki Tomino-penned reinterpretation of the original events of the OYW.

Tomino's novel version is very mature.
It's never been published digitally and no one has ever bothered to scan/upload its 500+ pages; the only option is to buy the paperback.
Here are links to Amazon and Right Stuf:

Although it is VERY different than the series, it will give you a good understanding of mobile suits, minovsky particles, newtypes, and the general ideas of why there is a war and how things got so bad. But its worth a read if your interested in gundam and want to do something besides watch a 50 episode anime. Also i definitely recommend reading mobile suit gundam the origin manga, its very good and retells the anime entirely (plus some bonus stuff)
Sorry, I meant the novelization. When I read the Origin, I didn't remember the manga for some reason.
Wait... there's an official release?!?!?! I didn't know.
Is it this one?
Are these the original novels Tomino wrote?
