Meddit's Book Recommendations

Time to update the existing side bar list.

If you could recommend a book(s) on meditation—on practice, theory, and/or inspiration for meditating — what would they be?

Feel free to confirm anything which is already there.

If relevant, describe who the book is best for, such as beginner or seasoned practitioner.

It’s helpful if you can link the book and perhaps share a bit about it.

All of Bhante G's books are very readable and approachable. His newest-newest though, is Meditations on Perception, which I just picked up.

Yeah, I happened to see an ad for it in Shambhala Sun or some such magazine :)

Seconded. I ended up buying a hard copy.

Same! It's the only time I've read a free pdf and felt like I was stealing. Didn't know it was turned into an actual book until I saw it in the bookstore. Bought it without hesitation.
