Comment: I have given links to Amazon, which has some benefits. There is certainly no obligation to buy from Amazon.

Suggestion: Some of these books are technical (in one area or another) and some are more about people. Mix and match. Consider what you need to learn. Consider what you are most ready to learn. And don’t think too much in the sky. See how much you have really learned by putting your ideas into action.
