Long Life-Changing List: Part A

This challenge is for the dedicated reader. It is a companion to my popular 'Books on a Theme From 100 Must-Read Life-Changing Books'. You can use this list to check off favourite books and then explore works with similar inspiration or written on similar subject matter.
This is the 1st part of a 3-part series based on 100 Must-Read Life-Changing Books (Nick Rennison, 2008). A Must-Read book on Rennison's list is indicated here by an asterisk before its title. Also the author's name is shown with their country of residence. Importantly, this index book is followed by several works in a similar vein by the same or different authors, as recommended by Rennison. This part covers 32 of the 'must-read' novels & 135 extra suggestions.
BTW, this is a much expanded version of the list published by fleurette.
