* lest they be forgotten...please note this list a tiny fraction
of the works from several brilliant minds who have dedicated their
lives to help us understand ourselves and our universe better
* several older classics may have been omitted by sheer ignorance, kindly
forgive such mistakes, maybe as this list is updated they will
find place
* book lovers are a religion unto themselves, no one else can
understand the pining they go through, for that incomplete book
on their bedside...
