Preliminary Reading List

A few years ago I found some websites with advice on starting an intellectual project like a think tank. One suggested a place to start is to read all pertinent material and take notes and write reviews. In reflecting on what counts as "pertinent information," I figured I should start with the reading I've already done. That will constitute my initial to-read list.

• Arrington, Leonard J. Great Basin Kingdom: An Economic History of the Latter-day Saints, 1830-1900.
• Bushman, Richard Lyman. Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling.
• Lucas, James W. and Warner P. Woodworth. Working Toward Zion: Principles of the United Order for the Modern World.
• Maxwell, Neal A. Of One Heart: The Glory of the City of Enoch.
• Nibley, Hugh. Enoch the Prophet: The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Volume 2.
• Nibley, Hugh. Approaching Zion: The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Volume 9.
• Nibley, Hugh. Brother Brigham Challenges the Saints: The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Volume 13.
• Spencer, Joseph M. For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope.
• Tolstoy, Leo. The Kingdom of God Is Within You.
• Turner, John G. Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet.

I also have another book that I haven't read yet but I should have:

• Arrington, Leonard J., Feramorz Y. Fox, and Dean L. May. Building the City of God: Community and Cooperation Among the Mormons.

I will look through the bibliographies of these works to see where I should go next. But this is my jumping-off point.
