Please alert me of dead links and books that don't meet good standards so they can be removed. Just keep in mind, this IS a "treasure hunt." The random order you find on this list is not accidental. It is simply a recognition that each book has its own unique personality. And moreover, if something is really fresh, it will defy traditional categorization.
