Big collection of Irvine Welsh, I know Train Spotting is the classic but Filth is my favorite. Its about a detective investigating a crime but soon takes a very odd turn. Got some good Will Self in there, Great Apes was good. It's about an artist who wakes up one day and everybody (including himself) is a monkey... everything is the same but we are all monkeys. So it's really about him adjusting to this, is he mad?, was he mad to think he was a human? who knows? We also have some Huxley in there, Brave New World telling us we are all screwed.
Every adult should have Harry Potter: The complete works, I'm sure you all know what the deal is with these books. Got me some Verne in there, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic and still one of my fav's. Even have Yann Martel's Life of Pi in there, not got round to reading this yet but I do like Pi...Yum!
As you can tell, this is the boy's section of book shelf. Got Frank Miller's Sin City books, its a great collection of stories all set in Basin city. The film recreated some of the storys very well but I still recommend you go out and get the rest. Batman Hush by Loeb, Lee and Williams is probably one of the best Batman storys around. Lots of mystry and double crossing all mixed in with most of the best know charecters results in a great book. Got the three The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books by Allan Moore & Kevin O'neill. The first is by far the best of the three blending great characters from famous literature with a great story.... and avoid the film at all costs.
aaah i am a big reader! havent known a guy who reads much before. so you two have quite a nice library! but i dont think that the sin city books are boys books..i love them all! hmm..maybe i am a somewhat tomboy haha^^
