Books! I've been digging though lists of Books that everyone should read trying to figure out where my next file of material is going to come in. So, this is it.

Does anyone else have any great book suggestions?

John Locke Quote»"[F]or nothing is to be accounted hostile force, but where it leaves not the remedy of such an appeal; and it is such force alone, that puts him that uses it into a state of war, and makes it lawful to resist him.
