think the reading list should be just a part of a far more comprehensive

links to important films, websites and music (more on this one later), and any
other educational medium - such as the artwork of a particular painter,

also think it would help if suggested inputs to the reading list/resource centre
included the name of the person suggesting them (and they should be known SSC
members), and some sort of basic guide to the relative importance of the
suggestion (according to the person recommending it). For example, the reading
list that I started compiling a couple of years ago uses a simple star-rating
system, so that one star = "interesting", two stars = "important" and three
stars = "essential". A book isn't included on the list unless it is at the very
least "interesting".</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
