I was an avid reader, so Hubby has a lot more of my books to add here, studying many things, most frequently health books, medical texts and books on learning better communication skills.
These are a few of the books I had in my library, click on the image to be taken to Amazon to place an order for the book:
The Malalignment Syndrome: diagnosis and treatment of common pelvic and back pain, 2nd edition [Hardcover] by Wolf Schamberger.
This was the last book I bought. I agonized a long time about spending the $120 for a book, due to my frugal nature. I waited for the Second Edition to come out and finally spent the money. I was planning on going to a surgeon in Georgia that did hip surgery and had a physical therapist properly align the hip during the procedure. I could find no one else in the world that had a surgeon and physical therapist working together during surgery. I talk about my hip problem here in My Story.
After my death, Hubby gave this book to my friend and physical therapist Linda Thompson Archibald, knowing that she would put it to good use. Linda was one of the few the helped me. Also my struggles inspired her to go back to school to get her degree so that she can help others that had issues like mine.
Helping Children Understand
My Mommy Has A Leaky Brain (Volume)
My Mommy Has A Leaky Brain Version 2 (Volume)
My friend Pam Tomlinson publishes books to help children understand issues, such as CSF Leaks, OCD, why daddy is in jail etc. Sadly I never got to read any of them. 
Relationships
These three books on relationships helped Hubby and I understand each other and get along a lot better than before we read them. Females must understand that Males like Projects not Routines. Males must understand that Females do not want you to be Mr. Fix It. They usually simply want someone who listens to them, not just hear words.

People who knew me well, know that I would study any subject to learn all that could be learned about it. One of the subjects was funeral planing and how the funeral industry worked to make a profit. Hubby took the book:
“The AFFORDABLE Funeral: Going in *Style*, Not in *Debt!*” by R. E. Markin.
when he planned my funeral. He got $2000+ off the price.
[Never buy one of their 'packages'. Buy your own urn for cremation or put the money in to the cost of a good head stone, not the cost of a casket. Also keep in mind these people are a business, they are not your friends no mater how friendly they are, they are out to make money!]
