The list is quite long. There probably no good reason to simply read every book on Scotts list.

Speak Ericksonian: Mastering the Hypnotic Methods of Milton Erickson - by Richard Nongard, James Hazlerig (Erickson was the father of modern hypnosis. Any book about his methods would be interesting.)

As a person who has hypnosis training this sentiments seems very strange to me. You don't choose books based on the title. Erickson was a great hypnotist but that doesn't make anybody who claims to follow his methods to be knowledgeable.

The list also contains books where Scott explictely menitons that he hasn't read them. That's not a good basis for book recomendations.
