I have a friend who needs to do all the reading possible on this. I shall
like to buy some books for him. He has attained so much at so many points
only to crush himself when he was on the verge of sharing his brilliance,
as he strived to do the impossible.

Can anyone email me a list of books perhaps one by this Paul Hewitt?

Cheers,

Leo
