If you'd like to see what I believe makes some of the best reading out there today, consider the following list. I will add more books regularly.  Some of these books might be out of print, but I find many such books on Amazon.com under the “used books” section.

If you have a book that you think should be added here, please email me with the titles. I would enjoy learning about your reading preferences too.
