Bibliography by Subject - READING RECOMMENDATIONS!
Here is a second version of my bibliography that will be more useful for reading recommendations.
*This list was last updated Jan 2023
KEY
Books in red are what I consider to be the most important books in each category.
Books in blue I highly recommend.
Books in light blue I recommend with reservations or I recommend, but they are just not as important as the books in the other blue or red.
Books in gray I have rated as 1-star for being incorrect, irrational or just bad.
