I'm looking for some reading that encourages some growth of technique, and/or maybe offers a hint of fresh inspiration...?
Does anyone have any suggestions..?
I don't want to read something boring and 100% technical and confusing. I have never 'studied' photography. I guess you could say I am a self-taught photographer of two year's experience. Any PERSONAL(not quickly googled after reading this question,and picking the first link..) suggestions would be greatly appreciated(:
Thanks<3

my utmost recommended read,
National Geographics Photographers Field Guide
Great book, not all tech, real tips from NG pro's on how to shoot many common subjects.
I've read quite a few, this is still IMHO the best.

We all have different styles of learning, goto the libriary. Get out 20-30 books, look through them all, two or more will appeal to you more than others. Start on the ones you find easier to understand and go from there.

I like the Ansel Adam book "The Camera".
Get a picture book of Arentz, Cartier Besson, or Weston.

What exactly are you asking? Is the enormous detail body the personal statement? Because to be honest, I really found it hard to muster the will to read it. My suggestion, make it short.
