I want to learn more about gnosticism. Which books do you recommend?
I'm also very interested in Catharism.
Don't leave me hanging, lads.

Stephan A. Hoeller:
-Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing
-The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead
-The Gnostic Bible
-The Nag Hammadi Library
-Voices of Gnosticism - Miguel Conner

I forgot:
-This Way: Gnosis Without "Gnosticism"
and
-How to Think Like a Gnostic
both by Jeremy Puma
His views on gnosticism are a bit off the beaten path, having been influenced by Philip K. Dick and Buddhism.

Is all you need.
In addition to the books already mentioned, check out Heresies of the High Middle Ages for info about Catharism.
