Just as i suspected, there is more on the reading list than i first presumed!
Each module does have it’s own reading list and so i’m sort of glad i held back a little on splashing out on all the books at once from the two original lists that I have been given. It would have been nice to get a warning, but i guess i was glad to get one list at all!! So here are the extra modules and their reading lists:

So it looks like i’ll be saving for a little while to get my hands on this little pile of books. If anyone can reccomend any specific book then I would be most grateful. It’s going to take time to get through them and utilising the most interesting and most useful first would definately be an added bonus!
Thanks!
