Bibliography

I had the idea yesterday (while working out on WiiFit Plus, no less) to compile a bibliography for you!  This is a good idea because a lot of the knowledge I want to impart to you - didn't come from me!  It came from teachers I had, books I read, etc.  As a matter of fact, NO knowledge really came from me.  My brain was as clean as a whistle when I was born, just like yours, and personal experience only accounts for part of what you know.  SO, I will make an alphabetical list here, and when I remember a book that I think you would enjoy or benefit from - I'll edit the post and add it!   How does that sound?  This is by no means a list of ALL the books I have read, though I have personally read all the ones that I list here.   And if anyone out there in inter-web land can think of something knowledgeable or useful for baby Vincent - feel free to add it in the comments!
