The books in this post are two topics: (1) Christian doctrine and (2) History of the Bible, Bible Versions, Textual Criticism, etc. I have read every one of these from cover-to-cover. For both these topics, I don’t agree with all of them but study them to understand different viewpoints—something necessary for proper apologetics study.

You have read quite a bit in the translation/KJV debate! I have read 3-4 of those books and listened to both sides of that debate for years and I don't get the derision by some folks for the KJV (or the hatred for newer translations from the KJV only crowd). I own and read the NASB (1977 and 1995), KJV, NKJV and ESV. I consider all of those reliable and useful for serious bible study. I use the NASB the most of those four, but read all of them on a regular basis. I completely avoid the NIV (especially the "updated" version) and all the other looser translations/paraphrases (New Living, Good News, The Message, etc).
I became a Christian while using the NASB back in January 1974, so I like it as a formal translation. My favorite version is the Holman Christian Standand, which is more formal than the NIV but still more dynamic than NASB. I use the ESV for church since that is what they use.
