I know Oukow already has a thread kinda like this one, but this time I'm going to organize everything within the first few posts and make this a sticky for a quick reference. [/disclaimer: I'm really bad about this. It would probably be in your best interest to browse the pages of this thread. Especially the last few.]
So, recommend your books, and I will organize them by category so that our guild members will have a quick and easy way to find a good read in whatever subject matter they want. Please indicate the category and if it's a series in your reccomendation post!
*Denotes a series. ( ) Indicates the person that reccomended the book.
