As Requested :


From The Eye Opener Thread , As of 1/28/06.

I tried to group catergories as best I could with the information given in this thread and what I could find on Amazon/B&N. If I skipped one, or put an incorrect author (some posts gave only titles) please let me or a Mod know and corrections will be made.

Some books fit more than one catergory - I included them twice if I thought that was the case.

Books listed Alphabetically within category/subject by Author.


I typed this in MS word, so if someone would like the actual word file to print, kindly send me a PM
