  1. I’m definitely a list maker, though sometimes not so good at sticking to them.

  2. Most of the books you've listed here aren't familiar to me, but, at the same time, most of them do look interesting to me. Yes, I make lists (or create a shelf on GoodReads) of what I'm going to read and I have a handwritten list on the first page of each month in my calendar to keep myself motivated/moving, but I rarely have non-fiction books listed there unless they are for a reading project (literary biographies, writing/creativity books)...mostly I just expect that the non-fiction will squeeze in around all the fiction on my lists (but, of course, that doesn't happen all by itself).
