Can we have the Recommended Reading page back please?

Just a request to see if we can have the Recommended Reading page back please Jeffrey! I haven't saved the list you suggested myself and I often recommend that page to others when asking about relevant books.

I'd also be grateful if anyone did make a list to share it here just incase! I can save this locally then :)
