The List

​

This list is in no particular order or priority. It contains a wide variety of books on differing subjects. There are even some novels, but they all have something profound to say about life. I have marked some as *Essential Reading, but you may find others essential to you. They are listed in order, as below by, Title, Author, ISBN Number, Subject. My favourite 5 books are highlighted.
