Books in this list might very well get moved to one of the three tiers above. But first I need to re-read them, since I've generally only read each of them once, and that one time was quite a while ago. As such, I neither remember clearly what I thought after reading them, nor did I have a very good foundation for critique at that younger age to really make any definite determinations of their worth to me. Especially the philosophy books, as my personal philosophical views have undergone multiple reconstructions, and I'm unsure of what I'll think today of those books that were highly influential on my thought over a decade ago. But to be on this list, I at least need to have a strong suspicion that a second reading would be valuable, reflecting the worth that the books likely hold for me.
