Very interesting library (we share many more titles than the twenty matched; I'm a great fan of Heschel, for example; his book about the Kotzker & Kierkegaard is one of the best on either. Wiesenthal is also excellent - on "forgiveness" amongst other things - albeit not very "Christian").
From your list I infer that you may be a college student still (like me, though undoubtedly younger and wiser). Hampshire's work on Spinoza is still the standard undergraduate text, and virtually impossible to better.
What I do not understand - it is one of life's little perplexities - is how the hell ANYONE can read Ayn Rand! And still admit to doing so!
Isn't Dennett bad enough?
