Some of these (those whose titles are linked) I have read myself or flipped through. I will put up reviews of the ones I have read or skimmed through. All of these books can be purchased or attained via Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. If you have any other books to recommend or to add to the list in general, please use the form below to send them in. This book list is divided into three categories: non-fiction, children's non-fiction, and fiction. Where possible I have included the book covers. Please be aware that some of the books listed below are scholarly journals and will read as scientific papers, not intended for the average reader. If you have a limited budget, always check your local library. If they do not have a copy, ask to inter-library loan the book, as in they will request to borrow the book from another library for your reading pleasure.
