Generate a Reading List for Getting Deeper Into a Hobby or Craft
You've outgrown the YouTube tutorials and want to actually understand your hobby, not just copy steps. Name the hobby and your level and this builds a reading list: a few foundational books, an advanced technical reference, and the right next read for where you are. For when watching has stopped teaching.
<context>

</context>
<task>
Generate a reading list for someone at {CURRENT_LEVEL} who wants to deepen their understanding of {HOBBY}. Include: two to three foundational books, one advanced or technical reference, one book on the history or culture of the craft, and one unexpected recommendation that most practitioners do not know about. For each book, include a one-sentence reason why it earns its place.
