Lists of books

I love lists of books.  Here are a couple of them:

Ed Vielmetti's list

Ed has one of them best book lists around, and some of the best shelves as well. Ed also had the idea of taking photos of bookshelves, which is the kind of thing that makes me want to drive up to Ann Arbor, knock on his door, and ask if I can browse.
 

The Shifted Librarian

I confess I haven't looked closely at this list, but it there's some overlap with books that I've read. I also spot a couple on this list that I didn't like.  The Social Life of Information, for example.  I wanted to the book; it was by John Seeley Brown of PARC, but I found it too ponderous.  (I sold it as a used book on Amazon a while back.)
