Now I want to study this wonderful language! Any books I can (try to) read in Scots? Serious question! :)

I've heard the Scots version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is really well done, and is fun to read even as an American. That said, I have no experience at all with Scots, so my opinion should have very little weight!

How about some 19th-century songs?

I've been reading some of Roald Dahl's Matilda in Scots (scribd subscription). It's fun!
