How I keep grandmasters alive

Patrick inspired me to have a look at the unread books in my library.
Although I have read 80% of my chess books, most of them more than once, there are a few books that I bought to sponsor poor grandmasters and forgot to read.
Now I have to do some reading to improve my strategy, what do you suggest?
BTW, if you suggest something that's not on the list, expect an E-mail bomb!

  2. Bronstein book or alekhine book would be my choice to learn basic strategy ideas in the framework of a complete master game
