Friday's for the Guys: Massive List of Great Books

A while back on Twitter jmaschari sent out a tweet looking for great books for middle school boys.  Of course that caught my eye.  I replied a few suggestions, and asks why she was asking.  She explained she was putting together a list.  After getting the list together, she was kind enough to share it with me so I could share it on the blog. 

So without much more - here's a great list of boys books for boys in the middle!
