Markd9528's "Books That Already Have Our Colleagues' Seal of Approval"

These are 80 books that have been recommended as a worthwhile read by at least one, and often several, of our colleagues on List Challenges. I collected them here because I haven't read any of them but they seem very promising. Not least because quite a few are associated with classic movies that I have already seen and greatly enjoyed.
