Jonathan Hare's 'good book' guide

The following are a selection of books that I have found to be very helpful, inspiring or generally just a 'good read'. Although I have put them into catagories you will find that some books are repeated throughout the list because the list covers a large subject area. Its all on-going and I will update it as I come across new books. The books / catagories are in no particular order.

Those marked with a * are particularly good (... in my opinion ... ).
