There have been a variety of reasons for this. In any case, I'm planning to get back to regular posting. For now, let me recommend our Recommended Reading page on this site. Be forewarned: it's not perfect. In fact, I told our husband and wife web gurus that this is the page I'd be most prone to meddle with on a regular basis. But that's my problem. For their part, they've done a great job of displaying the books I picked.
I'm open to suggestions on the books. But be forewarned again: I am probably already second guessing my choices far more than you ever could. I'm trying hard not to meddle too much, but -- what can I say? -- books are a big deal to me.
