This is the first iteration on the reading list I promised. The books
prefaced with an asterisk are ones I have seen advertised or in book-
stores recently and so assume are still available. The others are a
case of "don't-know" and may still be available also.
 
Books followed with a '+' are ones recommended by several people.
 
I'm sure there are many other favorite books out there and I'd like
to update this list both as others provide me with new entries and
as I encounter new books myself. So if you have a favorite (old or
new), please share it.
