100 Books for Sceptics

A list of books - mostly non fiction - for those who have little time for pseudo science, creationists, chiropractors, reiki therapists, acupuncturists, macrobiotic vegans, biodynamic organic farmers, climate change denialists, anti-vaccine campaigners, humanities graduates who dismiss science as 'just another discourse'... whether you think of yourself as a New Athiest or a rationalist, find yourself mystified by those who think the use of rubber prophylactics a mortal sin, or are just a hoary old curmudgen who likes to shout 'bah-humbug' at those who get overly excited by almond milk gogi berries, or froth at the mouth when presented with adverts for probiotic yoghurts or rejuvenating youth serums that claim the improbable claims for their products have been 'scientifically proven'...
...do you get the feeling that I'm exorcising a few demons here?...
...Anyway, if these things annoy you as much as they evidently annoy me, then then this could be the list for you. Enjoy!
