Comics as a Course Study

With the thesis I'll be writing soon and book I plan on finishing this summer and the mention of Comic Nation here on the boards I just wanted to give everybody a list of all the books I have or will be purchasing as research material and resources. There are many good books out there on the subject and they tackle it from sociological, political, and literary angles. I just thought this would be interesting to anybody who wants to know more about the hobby we all love.
