Husband's reading list

My husband has graciously allowed me to post, for a little variety, his reading list (instead of mine). I was especially drawn to it this week because it's colourful (and he has really amassed quite the tower). This includes some works currently being read, some already read, and many to-reads.

Boys and their non-fiction. Sigh. Although I did convince him to read Little Bee last year, and he is a diehard Rumpole fan.
