Goodreads Must Read Non-Fiction

"Non-Fiction books that everyone should read before they die." (Goodreads)
This challenge nicely complements my recently published list "Goodreads Must Read Classics: 2020/21 Update". Generally only books with at least 200 ratings were included.
BTW, it seems there is a Heidegger fan club out there in the webverse.
