Reading List

We are posting this reading list for those who are coming to the Workshop. You may not have time to read all of them, or even most of them, but if you can, try to read one or two. I think it would be very helpful to get comments in order to guide us in our choice. Which of the suggestions have you read and what did you think about it?
