Mkay, so I'm going to Waterstones (a huge arse book shop) sometimes in the next week or two. I want to buy my brother the Walking Dead comic as a random gift. What else do I buy? I have enough money to probably buy three books, anyone have any ideas of something good?

Please reference me to at least one classic if you'd like to list any books! Danke. =3

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a great scifi novel, and is on a lot of school curriculums. Look up the synopsis, it's one of my favorites.

30 Days of Night. Another great horror comic.

Or Locke & Key, which happens to be written by Stephen King's son.

I have the Illia, Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy, it was actually Dante who inspired my love for classical fiction. I'll Google what's left, thank you. =)

I have the His Dark Materials series too, Spleen, thankee though!

Yeah, that's an awesome series.
The other books I used to read were when I was a lot younger, they probably won't be much use.
