Very good list. I have few of these myself (1., 5., 8.). HTRYC was still bit too much for me (I've read Amateur's Mind couple of times though), John Watson even more so (still a book I'll return to at some point).
Following books have been helpful to me:
- Max Euwe : Chess Master vs. Chess Amateur (excellent!)
- Mikhail Tal : The Life and Games
- Silman : Amateur's Mind
- Reti : Masters of the Chess Board
- Keres & Kotov : Art of Middlegame

I highly agree with your first two. Bronstein is a great author too, but I don't have that particular book.
