Markd9528's List of Intriguing (Mostly) Nonfiction Works

I think this is an fascinating list of books. It is a compilation of non-fiction books I checked off while doing other challenges.
PRODUCT DISCLAIMER
Please be aware that if this challenge inspires you to do the same thing with your own To-Do list, you are likely to discover & add many more interesting titles along the way. The list may become rather unwieldy.
DISCLOSURE
One purpose of this challenge was to turn my nonfiction To-Do list into a printable list for importing into an Excel spreadsheet. You may also find the same procedure useful.
