| | | What are the top epistemology books?
I am looking for technical, critical stuff.
I read W. Jay Wood's book, Epistemology and while it did a decent job, I want more. What are the best stuff?

Go to the bottom--pretty thorough list of all the works on epistemology you need, more or less (course syl. by Frame). In the "Reformed Epistemology" "Christian Epistemology" and "Contemporary Epistemology" most of the books are standards in epistemology, Christian or non-.

Peace | Frame was foundational for me. I see triads in everything!

Plantinga's Warrant trilogy is very important.

Dancy, Jonathan, Ernest Sosa, ed. A Companion to Epistemology. Blackwell Companion to Philosophy Series. Malden, MA: Blackwell, 1993.
Audi, Robert. Epistemology: A Contemporary Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge. 2nd ed. Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy Series. New York: Routledge, 2003.
Sosa, Ernest, Jaegwon Kim, ed. Epistemology: An Anthology. Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2000.
Swinburne, Richard. Epistemic Justification. New York: Oxford UP, 2001.
BonJour, Laurence, Ernest Sosa. Epistemic Justification: Internalism vs. Externalism, Foundations vs. Virtues. Great Debate in Philosophy Series. Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2003.
Kornblith, Hillary, ed. Epistemology: Internalism and Externalism. Blackwell Readings in Philosophy Series. Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2001.
Not an exhaustive list by any means, but at least it's a start and they are all pretty current within the literature.

I'd also get some more specified books:
The History of Skepticism - Popkin
Ignorance - Unger
Problems of Knowledge: A Critical Introduction to Epistemology - Michael Williams
Groundless Belief: An Essay on the Possibility of Epistemology - Michael Williams
Knowledge and its Limits - Timothy Williamson
The Epistemology of Testimony - ed Lackey & Sosa
Testimony: A Philosophical Study - Coady
Reliability of Sense Perception - William Alston
Justification Without Awareness - Bergmann
Epistemic Justification: Internal ism vs Externalism/ Foundations vs Vurtues - Bonjour & Sosa
Beyond Justification: Dimesions of Epistemic Evaluation - William Alston
Contemporary Debates in Epistemology - ed. Steup & Sosa
Epistemology: Classic Problems and Contemporary Responses - Laurence Bonjour
Knowledge in Perspective: Selected Essay's in Epistemology - Sosa
Personal Knowledge - Michael Polanyi
Blackwell's Companon to Epistemology - ed. Dancy & Sosa
You can read these after you've read an intro (or three):
Audi's is a good one, Lanier mentioned him above. Personally, I really dislike Audi's writting style. But the book is great, nevertheless.
Moreland and Craig's section of Epistemology in Foundations of Christian Scholarship isn't too bad either.
An Introduction to Contemporary Epistemology by Matthias Steup is dated but good.
