[HoTT-reading-group] Background reading in homotopy theory and higher category theory?

[Chris Jeris]

First of all, thanks very much to Jason for putting the group together and
also making it accessible to us remote participants!

I am intrigued by the statement that "infinity-groupoids are the natural
models of homotopy theory", but I know little about homotopy theory and
nothing about higher category theory.  I have algebraic topology at about
the level of Massey's first course (rusty by some years) and basic category
theory.  Can anyone suggest some expository works in this area as
background or further reading?

thanks, Chris Jeris (freenode: ystael)
