Respect

Here are some of the books I have been reading lately :

Life and Fate, Vasily Grossman 
The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah 
The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins 
The A to Z of Iran, A to Z Guide Series
The Story of My Teeth, Valeria Luiselli 
The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language, Steven Pinker 
In Defence of Atheism: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Michel Onfray 
The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature, Steven Pinker 
Atrocities: The 100 Deadliest Episodes in Human History, Matthew White
The Blank State: The Modern Denial of Human Nature, Steven Pinker 
The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century, Steven Pinker 
The Girl from Human Street: Ghosts of Memory in a Jewish Family, Roger Cohen 
The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins 
God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens

Honesty, not always the best policy, compels me to add that I have only read the first (free) chapter of each of these books...
Which ones will I go on to read in their entirety? My priority is The Girl from Human Street.
