I think Franz Kafka's "The castle" and "The Trial" and Albert Camus' "The Stranger" should be a part of this list. And also
Baruch Spinoza's "Ethics" and George Orwell's "Animal Farm".
Please give reasons as to why you want them added, when you post something like this.
It gives better insight into the books and your thought processes.

I would recommend "God and State" by Bakunin. Especially the chapters dealing with his correspondances with Mazzini.
Also, Von Clausewitz's "On War", and Frontinus Sextus Julius's "The Stratagems of War". Both are excellent reading material to apply to the everyday struggle for survival.

There's a lot of goofy "history" put forward by Satanic groups, little of it with any kind of scholarly underpinning. I think it's important to know what the actual history looks like. My next step is looking at the cultural milieu at various points of the development of the idea of Satan.
I feel your pain.  Go to the Kindle [not the paperback] edition of my The Church of Satan here, click on the "Look Inside" feature, and scroll back to "Chapter 1: Antecedents", which is reproduced in full.
As a general FYI: When you're checking out books on Amazon with Kindle e-versions as well, you'll probably find a more extensive, and often better-chosen "Look Inside" feature on the Kindle page. Caveat that if the K-version is just raw text, this may not be all that helpful. All of my books have been "print replica" Kindle-ized, which results in a K-verion identical to the printed. It's the only way to handle large amounts of footnotes, which I usually have.
If you decide to write a book or two, I strongly recommend Amazon's CreateSpace as a nice, friendly, and $0 cost way to publish it. I think I've discussed this elsewhere on 600C. If you do, and decide to do a Kindle version, I strongly recommend that you download software such as the one I use, Kindle Textbook Creator, to produce a "print replica", much better than "raw Kindle"!

Not sure if they were mentioned but
Lords of the Left Hand Path - Stephen Flowers
The Invention of Satanism - Dyrendal, Lewis, and Peterson
The works of Aquino and Webb of course.
I also really recommend reading the fiction of Lovecraft.

In case Jew just didn't know.
It is there.
Do you feel guilty for hacking?
Although Webb and other authors from the temple are much harder to trace. Aquino and Webb's basic works still draw the hits. I saw Flowers' Lords of the Left Hand Path in my local shop a few days ago, $24.95.

I have read all these new Atheism books from Dawkins, Hitchen's and Harris and what have you. Their criticisms and points against the truth claims of mainstream religion are very good but these guys are ultimately against religion and 'spiritual' I don't mean the supernatural as such it's one of those difficult to define qualities of human life though it is very much a reality of human life.
Satanism as far as I'm concerned is an actual legitimate religion not Atheism. so I wouldn't really recommend these guys as 'Left Hand Path' as they don't really have much of a clue beyond tearing down peoples unsubstantiated and bizarre beliefs which is like shooting fish in a barrel. 'Lords of the Left Hand Path Forbidden Practices & Spiritual Heresies' and 'The Reality of Bring' are two better 'Left Hand Path' books.

I don't get how the spiritual (especially in the "occult" context) qualifies as anything LHP.
I have always held an interpretation of LHP which goes through a logic gate of belief. Is it approached through faith (Do you need to believe in ideas not events) as a method of attainment. True/False.
I think Dawkins And Co. have a more LHP perspective than most that call themselves satanists, especially those that call themselves occultist. IMO, It is refreshing to hear criticisms along the; No you can't control the objective universe with magic, you are just full of your own red herring fallacy lines. And these atheists just so happen to be the only ones saying those things.

My opinion of "atheists" as I've come to understand it is that they are useful idiots for other entities to keep power out of the hands of the less worthy. At least those who make a career out of it. Settling for a paycheck and avoiding the supernatural is a safe space for those who might be a bit frightened of progression. However, unlike some Satanists I don't cringe at the idea of so called "safe spaces." "Atheism" is a valid safe space to protect yourself from fear that might actually hinder your progress. Some people who would strip that away from you aren't actually interested in your progression.
Personal emotional safety and shelter is a dynamic tool that is in my experience necessary for progression, while those who would rather you not progress out of fear or whatever will try to shame you out of it by calling it "unsatanic" or whatever. A lot of people come here who are born Satanists who don't fit the mold but nevertheless also find that their identity is fractured and are a bit predisposed to people pleasing because these individuals are often resourceful enough to hang on to some purity or innocence in spite of everything, but are just fractured enough to be compartmentalized and controlled. Whatever your path takes you is between you and Satan or whatever other entities you might choose to deal with. My two cents. Fuck anyone else because in a world ruled by ambition not everyone is your friend. Look out for yourself.

That might be the most flawed argument I have read in a while, and a nice bit of apologetic gymnastics. Unless my reading comprehension fails me yet again...
You have in effect contrived another degree of influence to call a skeptical mindset fearful. You're saying that underneath what "atheists" say is a belief they are repressing. That they're critical positions limit their opportunities and experiences that lack of belief makes them afraid of getting otherwise. Or part of being human is an innate spirituality. Very christian argument that.
It's superfluous, a crutch, and entirely unnecessary. Unless you can give me a legitimate example in which a critical mindset actually limits progression?
Contrarily, I believe a critical mindset gave 'humanity' EVERY notable progression we have. Like that one mouthwash guy who said, "I believe sickness is caused by single celled organisms that attack our bodies."
