Bibliographies: building worlds

I suppose it's odd of me, but I enjoy research. Sometimes I have trouble tearing myself away from yet another book to start writing.

I'm often curious about what books another writer has used to build their concepts of worlds and characters. In case you're like me, here's a sampling of the books I've poked through for some of my works-in-progress. The lists are not complete, but I'll try to add most of the important sources as I go.
