1989. Hahnemann's Organon is the Bible of homeopathic medicine. The O'Reilley edition is the easiest and clearest one, and although it is more expensive, it is a beautiful book. The Kunzli edition is also very good. There are other editions by Boericke, but these are harder to read because of the translation.

Sankaran, Rajan. The Spirit of Homeopathy. Bombay: Homeopathic Medical Publishers. 1992. Sankaran is a modern homeopath from India whose ideas have had a great impact upon the homeopathic world. His work is somewhat controversial (some homeopaths believe he strays from Hahnemann, while others feel he has greatly expanded upon Hahnemann's ideas), but he gives a very good explanation of disease and the homeopathic approach, and the book is very interesting to read — and very thought-provoking.
