Here are some books that I can unreservedly recommend concerning home education:
Any book by John Holt, including the following:

What Do I Do Monday
Learning All the Time
How Children Fail
How Children Learn
Instead of Education
Freedom and Beyond
Homeschooling for Excellence by David and Micki Colfax
Hard Times in Paradise by David and Micki Colfax
The Homeschooling Book of Answers by Linda Dobson
The Art of Education by Linda Dobson
Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto
The Homeschool Reader by Mark and Helen Hegener
The Book of Learning and Forgetting by Frank Smith ~ This thin volume from 1998 reads like a reprise of John Holt's early work with a bit of John Gatto added for good measure. Highly recommended!
