Cool, Buddhism thread. Hello brothers, I am looking for books that give a history of Mahayana Buddhism or it's various subsets. Please and thank you for the help.

Hello friends and brothers. Might we have a thread on Buddhist literature to expand our horizons on this great, immeasurable religion.I have begun reading a book on the history of Theravada Buddhism and would like to learn more about the history of Mahayana Buddhism, or acknowledging that this task may be to broad, works on the various faiths of Mahayana and it's many strains would be good as well. I am also reading the Sutta Nipata, and am trying to learn Sanskrit to read the many texts of Mahayana. Remember friends, though the sea of samsara is wide, deep, and the crossing may seem impossible, yet if we continue to follow the Eightfold path and profess believe in the Dharma, we may yet cross to the other shore. Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammasammbuddhassa.
