 | Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $0.69 I've read this at least five or six times. It's an amazing book about drug addiction, scotland, everyday life, failure, highs, lows, and almost anything you could imagine. Everyone should read this.
|
 | Porno by Irvine Welsh
Buy used from: $6.97 The sequel to Trainspotting, set ten years later. It's almost as good as the first time. It's genuine Irvine Welsh and it's great to see what happened to the Trainspotting gang. I've read it twice.

 | Trainspotting - Director's Cut (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.99 Compared to the book, this film is terrible. I think the makers of this film failed to capture the feel of the book and Welsh's writing. I still love it, though.
|
 | Trainspotting: Music From The Motion Picture by Various Artists
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.99 Aside from Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, and Ewan Bremmer, what makes the film is the soundtrack.
|
 | Kill City by Iggy Pop & James Williamson
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.16 As an Iggy Pop junkie, I've often wondered what the best Iggy Pop album is. I'm still not sure, but this is as close as I'll get. This album will blow you away.
|
 | Lust for Life by Iggy Pop
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.99 Classic Iggy. Every Iggy fan should own at least one copy of this album. I own three: one on vinyl, one on tape, and one on CD.
|
 | The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.20 If you own Lust For Life, you really should own The Idiot as well. This is a really great album.
|
 | New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $2.00 The best part about this album is the slopiness. It's very rough and powerful. I love it.
|
 | The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $6.57 Probably the best David Bowie album ever.
|
 | The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974 by David Bowie
Buy new: $51.99 / Used from: $32.63 This is a pretty good best of album. My only objection is that it doesn't have Soul Love on it and it does have Suffragette City.
|
 | Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture
Buy new: $21.97 / Used from: $17.26 Bowie is way better live. This DVD proves that Mick Ronson is as good (maybe better) than David Bowie. His solo on Moonage Daydream is amazing.
|
 | Scarface (Full Screen Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.97 How could you not love this film? It's a classic--and Al Pacino just rocks.
|
 | The Picture of Dorian Gray (Modern Library Classics) by Oscar Wilde
Buy new: $7.95 / Used from: $0.01 This is one of my favorite books. Oscar Wilde was a genius.
|
 | The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Stories, Plays, Poems & Essays by Oscar Wilde
Buy new: $17.72 / Used from: $5.05 This is a really good compilation of Wilde's works with a forward by his son. My favorites in here are The Importance of Being Earnest, Dorian Gray, The Selfish Giant, and The Ballad of Reading Gaol.
|
 | The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $4.87 This album is just really, really good. It gets to be a bit much at times, but it's one of my favorites. I'll Be Your Mirror, Heroin, and Sunday Morning are the best.
|
 | Greatest Hits by Mott the Hoople
Buy used from: $4.78 Mott The Hoople really only had three good songs: All The Young Dudes (written by David Bowie), All The Way To Memphis, and Roll Away The Stone. I seem to have built up an addiction to these songs.
|
 | The Filth and the Fury - A Sex Pistols Film
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $10.66 It has to be said that I would much rather watch this DVD than listen to Never Mind The Bullocks. It gives you the whole story of the Pistols--told by them. It's a must for any fan.
|
 | Pulp Fiction
Buy used from: $6.13 Back when Tarantino was good. This film really is genius and the acting is wonderful. There are tons of memorable scenes here.
|
 | Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture by Various Artists
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.95 If you've seen the film, you know why I've added this.
|
 | Jackie Brown (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.50 This isn't quite as good as Pulp Fiction, but it's really good. The downside of this film is it's too long. The upside is the dialogue, the music, and the acting.
|
 | Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Jackie Brown is based on this book. I'm still not sure if I like the film or the book better, but Elmore Leonard is great.
|
 | Pagan Babies by Elmore Leonard
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 I read this last fall because it was in my school library and I liked Rum Punch. It took me a month to return it because I read it twice. I think it's actually better than Rum Punch.
|
 | Ecce Romani Level 1-A by Lawall
Buy used from: $9.00 I have to admit it...I'm a Latin geek. I went to Latin camp for three weeks last summer and this is the book I used. It's pretty good.
|
 | Ecce Romani Level 1-B by Lawall
Buy used from: $2.13 A continuation of Ecce Romani Level 1. I used this one at camp as well.
|
 | Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.99 This is a really good--and weird--album. I listen to it all the time.

Listmania!
