I re-ordered the list to match the table of contents in the book.

I added “As Man Thinketh” which should be number 1 but was missing. I deleted “The Power of Positive Thinking Miniature Edition” and replaced it with the regular one. It should be book number 40. And “Motivation and Personality” had no author or picture so I deleted it and replaced it with a different edition. IT should be number 36 but I can’t re-order the list for some reason.
