Request for references on Objectivist Epistemology

I'd be interested in soliciting a suggested reading list on Objectivist Epistemology. One might thing of organizing it as:

1) Writing or Speeches by Rand:

2) Writing or Speeches by other Objectivists

3) Writing or Speeches which criticize Objectivist epistemology

I'm of course aware of ITOE, and of Kelley's Evidence of the Senses. I've got easy access to The Objectivist Newsletter, The Objectivist, The Ayn Rand Letter, The Objectivist Forum, The Objective Standard, The Intellectual Activist and the Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, among other likely sources...

Two of my favorites, these specifically deal with Rand's technical epistemology

http://www.saint-andre.com/thoughts/abelard.html

"Conceptualism in Abelard and Rand" by Peter St. Andre

http://enlightenment.supersaturated.com/es...ay/diss/03.html

Chapter 3, "Universals" of Carolyn Ray's "Identity And Universals: A Conceptualist Approach to Logical, Metaphysical, and Epistemological Problems of Contemporary Identity Theory"

Thanks. Will give them a read.
