[Solved] good parenting books?

So anyone know of any good parenting books? I've just finished a very short one that drew a good overview picture of what my role is and helped me to see that often my own insecurities stop me.

It was good to read that as a dad to boys my job is to encourage them in their abilities esp in being adventurous and giving things a go, this builds confidence and self assurance. Its that sense of "have i got what it takes?". If i had daughters the job is to aswer the deep female questions of am i beautiful, am i worth running after, am i precious. Again all about confidence and self assurance.

Have to say that to begin with i thought it was all a little old school in its boy are (add roar sound here) tough and girls are all about dolls and timidity, however it was written by an American! But then once i got into it i realised it was talking about the deep human issues that we crave an answer for and it made me look at my life and my relationship with my father and i thought....ummm...actually this is good stuff. When i put the book down i though yeah i've got what it takes to do this job, or at least i know what the deep questions are i'm meant to answer as i undertake the role!!
