Excellent. I've read all of the top twenty five save the exact Chomsky titles (though I've read plenty of his work, and his key points tend to be stable), "Green Illusions," and "Hot Flat and Crowded" -- though I confess that I started the book, but never finished. Not sure why...
Great list! Thank you, Charles, for starting it and everyone else for building it up. I'm tempted to put every one of 'em on my to-read list, except for the mere half dozen or so I've read.

Maybe add Nassim Taleb's Black Swan as a complement to the Structure of Scientific Revolutions?
Fantastic list. I've added a few of these to my To Read list.
Awesome list!! Thanks for creating it. Definitely reading some of these for my 2016 reading challenge :)
Too much Pinker, but this is a f*ing good list
Great list! I think I'll contribute a few books to this list too.
Gotta say, this is the best list I've ever seen on the goodreads. Thank you
commenting so I can remember where this list is
Valerie wrote: "This is like, ALL white men"If for some reason you don't want to read European authors, just in the top 100: Jared Diamond, Naomi Klein, Viktor Frankl, Howard Zinn, Daniel Kahneman, Noam Chomsky, Steven Pinker, Sigmund Freud, Christopher Hitchens, Saul Alinsky, Yuval Noah Harari, Franz Kafka, Douglas Hofstadter, Carl Sagan, Thomas Kuhn, Jared Diamond, M. Scott Peck, Dan Ariely, David Graeber, Charles Murray, William Deresiewicz, Steven Levitt, Thomas Friedman, Jonathan Haidt, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Jonathan Safran Foer are Jewish (plus the Bible, obviously), Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Daron Acemoğlu, and Edward Said are also Near Eastern but not Jewish, Malcolm Gladwell, Paulo Freire, and Gustavo Gutierrez are Hispanic, Mohandas Gandhi is Indian, and Martin Luther King, Jr. is African.
It seems like much more of a Judeocentric than a Eurocentric list to me, but I agree that it's totally androcentric.
It is still mostly white men. and one Nazi person (Martin Heidegger)
The list is so race-blind that I am guessing the author probably thought Gandhi and Martin Luther King ,Jr are also white.
