What Books Have you Read on Parenting?

I was just wondering what books you all have read on parenting and what your thoughts were on them. I'm looking for some good books. I've read Happiest Baby & Happiest Toddler as well as most of Dr. Sears books. I've also read Cloud and Townsends books on parenting called "Boundaries with Kids" and "Raising Great Kids".

How about you?

I really liked the Love & Logic parenting philosophy. They have a class as well as many books. I guess there's a L&L board on iVillage, but I don't remember what it is. :( Sorry! (Maybe someone else could help there if you're interested.) But it also deals with boundaries and realistic consequences. Probably very similar to what you've already been reading. :) G/L!

The very first book I read was Baby Wise, and I loved it! Thank you Baby Wise for 12hour sleeping nights at 13 and 15 wks!!

I've also read the standard pregnant mommy book What To Expect...

Child Wise

The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy
The Girlfriends Guide to Surviving the First Year
The Girlfriends Guide to Toddlers
The Girlfriends Guide to Getting Your Groove Back all by Vicki Iovine, and I thought they were hilarious.

Stupid Things Parents Do To Mess Up Their Kids by Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

Home Alone America by Mary Eberstadt

It Takes A Parent by Betsy Hart

And then my subscriptions to Child, Parents, and various purchasing of Parenting Magazines

I've read Happiest Baby and I have What to Expect the First Year. Beyond that I wouldn't know what to read! lol. (I heard WAY too many good things about Happiest Baby so of COURSE I had to get it and try it!)
