What are some of the good books on object modeling... I am basically looking for a prerequisite book for Analysis Patterns by Martin Fowler..
Object Thinking by David West. MyHumbleReview
This one definitely deviated my mental process for design. Might be worth a look.

You mentioned a prerequisite book, are you looking more on a technical angle or a general angle?
from a more technical angle I have to recommend craig larmans patterns book: http://www.amazon.com/Applying-UML-Patterns-Introduction-Object-Oriented/dp/0131489062/ref=sr_1_1/002-2801511-2159202?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194351090&sr=1-1
from a more general angle I would recommend Scott Ambler's book the OO Primer http://www.amazon.com/Applying-UML-Patterns-Introduction-Object-Oriented/dp/0131489062/ref=sr_1_1/002-2801511-2159202?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194351090&sr=1-1
