I'm going to have to say 61 and 64 because I haven't read any of the others.
(If anyone reads this before/if the OP edits the list, 61 and 64 were blank when I posted this response.)
PS. You definitely have more high-brow books on your "to read' list than I do. I'm feeling mildly stupid right now.

I see your theme seems to be the elements of Libertarianism and free-market capitalism, and the dangers of big government.
If that is your theme, then you MUST add The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes to the list. A definite MUST READ.
The Road to Serfdom is essential.
The Wealth of Nations is also.
I need to check my book shelves, because I think I've read a bunch of these.

Are you having trouble getting to sleep? Probably almost any of them would work. In fact, the list worked pretty well for me.
Seriously, I'm interested in knowing which turn out to be the top two or three, if you get enough responses to make it meaningful.

Charlie Wilson's War is a very good book and helpful in understanding what happened in Afghanistan when the Soviets invaded.
