I've recently discovered that my morality is the equivalent of secular humanism. I wish to expand my knowledge of secular humanism. Does anyone have an suggestions for books to read about it?

Forbidden Fruit: The Ethics of Humanism
... but I would encourage you not to insulate yourself against nonsecular humanism or religious naturalism. As I've suggested elsewhere, what I find most helpful is to invert the paradigm: rather than see godliness as the expression of deity, I see deity as man's reification of godliness. And it seems to me that humanity's attempted covenant with godliness, while uneven and often deformed, is also laced with wisdom and insight. It would be a shame to remain willfully ignorant and contemptuous of such resources.
