I plan to repost the current list for each new project. So, now when we jump back in time a generation and then again when we go forward again. Each chapter will also have links to the "end materials" for that book, so it's okay if it gets lost in the shuffle.
You should check out "The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell (one of the main inspirations for George Lucas) about why stories are so important to us, as a culture. It's quite inspiring.
