Thanks to used book stores, library book sales, and PTA book sales, I've acquired books faster than I can read them. A weakness for books that are $0.25 each might be relevant too. In any case, below are some of the books on the 'to be read' book case (at one time a mere shelf of itself). Some are on subjects I've already taken, but am interested in the historic content of the book. Some I've already worked through that book, but would like a refresher. Comments on which to read next or companion materials to read them with are invited. Hints as to which to read first wouldn't hurt either. * denotes one I've got in progress (too many of these at the moment). Comments especially welcome on these, particularly as there are so many at the moment.
