My Books

Herein I shall maintain a list of books and periodicals I have read, am reading, or intend to read.  Of course, this list is in addition to any ritual / developmental texts (my so-called "study guide") that I read daily.  I will include links to amazon.com pages related to the work, if any exist, as well as any related online resources that apply, just in case anyone is interested.

Books in Progress

The first title, if more than one is listed, is the book I'm most focused on completing at this time.  Current progress listed, updated whenever the notion crosses my mind.

Completed Books

Titles listed in reverse-chronological order by time of completion.  In some cases (particularly as it pertains to texts like the Dhammapada), I may be re-reading portions of books listed below as part of my daily ritual.  I will not, however, be re-listing books being used in that manner in the "Books in Progress" section.
