Non-fiction "To read" list

I'm a list person. I constantly create lists: Grocery list, To Do list, To Buy list, etc...Some regard this as a sign of a boring person and they might be right. I tried to be spontaneous and live without them, but my experiment ended up with disappointing discovery: there was no sense of accomplishment without lists. It felt as if my time was wasted...

So here is my To Read list I compiled today inspired by Goodreads.
