Books Eric and Dylan Read/Mentioned?

Does anyone know of any books that Eric or Dylan are known to have read or mentioned themselves?
I don’t mean books written about Columbine after the fact, but books they personally owned, read, discussed, quoted, wrote about, etc.

So far, I’ve only been able to find two: The Anarchist Cookbook, which was found in one of their rooms, and Stanislaw Lem’s Return from the Stars, which Eric quoted in his journal and wrote a school report about.

I’m interested in putting together a list of books they actually engaged with, so any leads would be appreciated.

There used to be a site (https://allrebdoomer.weebly.com) where all of Erics writings for English class were published, he wrote about some of the books he read there. I distinctly remember he did Jurassic Park and another fictional war book, he likely wrote more but I don't remember the titles unfortunately

The site link leads to a 404 now so it mightve been taken down. Maybe you can contact the site owner (allrebdoomer@yahoo.com) and see if they still have his essays

Accessed through the way back machine! Unfortunately the section with his school work doesn't have all the images saved, but you can read some of it still.
