Definitely get “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson! Her book “Catalyst” is good, too, as is “Fever 1793″ though it is for younger readers.

Oooh, Chandler and Hammet. Good call.

I definitely want to stock some graphic novels, but it’s a matter of money. I’m paying, out-of-pocket, for books I fully expect to take severe wear, and possible vandalism and theft. (Is this cynical of me? Perhaps, but spend one day in an average American high school and tell me it’s not a legitimate concern.) The point is, I’m only putting out stuff I can get a hold of cheap, and that leaves out a lot of graphic novels. I’ll try to find what I can, though.

Only a few years ago I was a teenager. Aside from some of the great choices you (and your ladyfriend) have offered, I’d suggest some crime books by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett (The Big Sleep, Maltese Falcon) On the Road and the Dharma Bums by Kerouac, As I Lay Dying by Faulkner… and the book that I will recommend to anyone who will listen, The Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen (sadly, not the creator of Savage Dragon.)

If you’re stocking OGNs, may I suggest – nay, demand – you stock the (as yet, four) volumes of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series? If those had been around when I was in high school, I could’ve used them to win more friends.

Stocking your own novels… cheeky.

Keep on rockin’ Blakester.
