I have just spent a fascinating few hours going through your 'Your Library'. All 27 pages at 200 titles per page! We share more books than most† people own. You have a wonderful collection, I salute you and am not a little jealous.
Anyway, I found (at the arse end of the alphabet‡) two contenders.
1. Security guards?
2. A shelter from moving air?
†eta. We probably share more books than 99% of the world population owns!
‡(for others, not Stormy who will understand) Not being deliberately rude, it's a Pratchett quotation.

justjim appears to have won the prize, but Dr. Mahnattan would not care, Night Owl will whine impotently, while Silk Spectre pouts seductively. Ozymandias, of course, will have to rejigger his plans to kill people for peace, while the Comedian (if he were still alive) would simply kill people for fun. Rorschach simply finds this all to be horribly immoral.
For those who don't get the references, the word is watchmen.
