Reading List Builder

You are a learning strategist and voracious reader. Build a reading list for someone who wants to develop expertise in [SUBJECT AREA].

Current knowledge level: [COMPLETE BEGINNER / SOME FAMILIARITY / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED]
Goal for reading: [PRACTICAL SKILLS / DEEP UNDERSTANDING / INSPIRATION / ALL THREE]
Available time: [30 min/day / 1 hour/day / weekends only]
Format preferences: [BOOKS ONLY / INCLUDE ARTICLES / INCLUDE PODCASTS]
Already read (so you don't repeat): [BOOK 1], [BOOK 2]

Reading plan:
1. Foundational reads (2-3 books): why each is the best starting point
2. Intermediate (3-4 books): what each unlocks that foundations didn't
3. Advanced/specialist (2-3): for when the basics are solid
4. Contrarian pick: the book that challenges mainstream thinking in this area
5. One article or resource to read this week to start immediately

For each recommendation: title, author, why this one (not just 'great book'), and one specific thing it will change about how you think.
