Im out of reading material, so I would like to purchase a general Lighting book. Whats good in your opinion? Understanding Exposure is a great book, but it had nothing about flash photography in there.

If you really want to understand lighting, this is the book to get. It's not light reading (sorry, no pun intended), mind you, but I think it's indispensable in learning about light and lighting.

If you want to learn the technical physics behind light then the book Leo recommended is what you want.

On the other hand if you want to learn about how to go about setting up lighting to take pictures of people then I would recommend http://www.lightingmag​ic.com/litbook.htm (external link)
