Unread Book Challenge: Master List

This is another entry mostly for me, but also for anyone who may find it useful. I find that I frequently want to refer back to previous book posts when discussing current reading, and it's getting very difficult to find the post I want because there are so many of them. So this is the master list of book posts. I will keep updating it as I read more books.

Caveat 1: Nonfiction only
Caveat 2: Books I did not actually finish are italicized.
