I got up a bit ago and quickly jotted down some books I noted from my bookshelves. Not all my books are unpacked, and various of the old books have sections in them on topics such as silence and solitude pertaining to hermits, prayer, contemplative and monastic life, and the spiritual life. I might add to this list when I'm feeling better and have more "standing" endurance with the spinal pain, to look through the titles more carefully. But here's a start of books which focus mainly on the two topics pertinent to hermits: silence of solitude. Formative reading material, all!
