Some of these were recommended to me by the Druid/Shaman I met and I would just like to share what he has with me with those who would wish to walk the same path as I and few others do. I will add on to the list as more books are recommended and/or that I have read and know for sure to be 'Must Reads'. I will also try to list authors so you can get the exact material that you need.
Note: I will try to list the books in difficulty ranges so you know what you should most likely tackle in the beginning, as you go, and so forth. Additionally I recommend picking up any book you feel may be imperative to your learning as a Druid (books such as, as an example, 'Dancing with Dragons,' 'Dragonlore,' 'Norse Magic,' 'Beginners Guide to Astral Projection,' by Edain McCoy, etc). And some of these aren't entirely in order or anything of how you should read them. Celtic Magic is a good starting point though and 21 Lessons of Merlin is a good second and the Mab being a good third stepping stone base foundation.

Note: Remember to get out and also experience new things and sensations. These are also very important to your training as well as your 'Life Long' training.
Remember it takes time to learn as well as diligence, discipline, concentration, and more. But remember not to overdo it and be sure to take a time out when you need it. I recommend definitely reading 20-30 minutes a day as most schools will recommend.
Good luck and have fun!
Remember most Druids know things by constant memorization so keep that mind in tip top shape and memorize, memorize. You never know when that information will not only be of use, but will indefinitely prove you are a true Druid.
~~Note: Please see the 'Outter Ring Connections' for more recommended reading from some of the other Druid related sites.
