Reading List

I know I'm always banging on about it, so I thought I might as compile what's on my reading list. This is no particular order. If you have any suggestions for other things I may like, please feel free to suggest them. Just note that with the length of this list (where I've probably missed off a fair few), I may not get around to reading it any new suggestions any time soon.
