Do you have any book suggestions for a novice/aspiring magician?

I have benefited from:

Liber Null & Psychonaut, and The Octavo – Peter J, Carroll

The Magician’s Companion, and The Magician’s Reflection – Bill Whitcomb

The Red Goddess – Peter Grey

The Information, and Chaos – James Gleick

Liber O – Aleister Crowley

I have found the most important traits for a magician are persistence, being totally honest with yourself, and a sense of humor.
