Thanks! Yes I was aware that my list was very STEM heavy, most of my friends are in STEM fields which of course has heavily influenced the list. Funnily enough, the thought of asking a librarian had completely slipped my mind, definitely something I'll do.

With regards to your response to the "catching up with the rest of humanity", I definitely agree that my list so far does not reflect that intent, but this is exactly why I am reaching out! Hopefully I will be able to compose a more holistic list in time!

Instead of composing a list, pick up a book and start reading. If it's good keep reading. If it isn't put it down. One of the great things that comes with getting old(er) is that different books are better or worse at different time in my life. And, sometimes the same book is a different book at a different time in my life.
