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

Not a book but I run a blog written in Scots: https://makforrit.scot.
Not a book, but https://twitter.com/Lenniesaurus?s=20 does a fun “scots word of the day” series!

See how much of that series you can get through. :)

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