The Grub St Lodger's Last 100 Non-Fiction

I've filled in a bunch of other people's non-fiction ones and they never have any of the books I've read. I'm not a massive non-fiction reader, I had to go back six years to get 100.. though I feel I must have missed out some because there were a bunch of Samuel Johnson books I remember reading that aren't here, and Christopher Smart ones. Oh well, as far as my records allow - here are the last 100 non-fiction books I've read.
