I have seen an interesting quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, it says "If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads."
So, I decided to compile the list of books, which I have read so far (excluding programming/technology related books), just to pat myself on the back

The list is really great! I'd add one more book - "The genius of Charles Darwin" ( http://rapid4me.com/?q=The+Genius+of+Charles+Darwin ). It's very cognitive.
