[META] Recommended Reading!

This is a list of recommended reading that the mods and community have come up with. It's still "bare bones", so if you have any books, articles, blogs, or videos you'd like to recommend, please leave them in the comments! I hope the reading list will eventually be robust and well-rounded. All of the categories need more added to them, so any help is greatly appreciated! Please note: This is not required reading. It is simply a place we can point people who are asking for resources. =)
