Staying Alive - 200 More Books to Read Before You Draw Your Last Breath

This is a follow-up to my challenge "200 Books to Read Before You Draw Your Last Breath" (available for FREE at the link). And I've just realised this is my 600th book challenge (sound of champagne corks popping).
Most of these books are ones that I have noticed relatively frequently on challenges over the past few months, including some real surprises, at least to me (eg. Orwell's 'Notes on Nationalism'). There are also a number of recent publications.
