Upvoted, and you're right, of course. In fact, I created much of this list by looking at Goodreads, and the lw textbook thread, and Eliezer's bookshelf, and the SI reading list, etc, and cherry-picking what I was interested in. I was more soliciting commentary on those specific books, than just general recommendations per se.

I assumed the odds were that most of Lesswrong wouldn't have read most of them, or just wouldn't want to bother, which would be understandable. Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much from posting this. I figured if I could improve on or drop one book from that list it would be worth it.

Edited to add: I looked at your favorites list and will probably make a few additions
