The Books Lorgland Wants to Read for Enlightenment

All nonfiction. The two exceptions are "Blutbuch" and "Die Stadt der Trauemenden Buecher", which are fiction, but would improve my German. Hence why they're on the list.
Let's see how much more enlightened you are than me because -- psst -- I haven't ready any of these yet.
