I found the book for $1 -- new condition -- on Amazon used books and thought, "What he heck?" I'm really glad I did. My first read-through was a little rough, mainly because I was digesting all new information. The second time through, things made a lot more sense, partly because I'd done some other reading in the meantime.

Cajun, please do us the service of posting that list. I'm new enough, I don't think I've ever seen it and would love to!
