I would also recommend A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe for ideas for adminstering the lands surrounding your keep.

Yes!

It's a fantastic book, and a really fun read - even if you don't end up using it verbatim.

It's one of the few non-WotC d20 books I've bought; I'm really picky, and this one met my expectations and more.

The triangle is the single most structurally sound shape...
Make a giant pyramid out of steel and glass, and have a hundred "Decanter of Endless Water"s at the top to make it pretty, and have a giant forest inside, populated by pretty Nymph's, pixies, and other adorable Fey.
Then load it up with traps...
Trololololol!

A star fort is most defensible.

Whatever you build, remember to add lots of secret doors and passages.

They also come in handy when you run out of catapult ammo.
