The creator of this list left MPA but let me take over since new books have been found/published.
Note: these are real (paper and glue) books. Many are available on Kindle, but I did not include any that are only available on Kindle. For a list of ebooks, see Doomsayers list here: http://www.myproana....ster-ebook-drop
I put a * next to the ones I recommend.
Enjoy!
