Suggested Books 
Some of my favorite books
Bulleted below are some of my favorite books, in no particular order.  This list is a work in progress, considering there are so many great books and I usually forget some.  So, check back every now and then to see if I add any.  If there is a * by any, that means it is a top-notch book and I strongly suggest checking it out.   If you come across a great book that you think I should check out, go to my contact page and let me know.
