I totally agree with you on the list above having read all books except one however I would be inclined to take away one book and add one more. I am continually unimpressed by the long tail, Chris takes it to ridiculous extremes and makes a lot of very very obvious comments in the book in my opinion. It also irritates me that he is creditted with creating this term, while studying physics I remember at least one professor referring to the long tail of high energy molecules in a gas cloud with a skewed gaussian distribution. Basically the long tail adds nothing new for me and I don't think is a great book.<br><br>Conversely I think Good to Great is a fantastic book for our industry. A hell of a lot of web companies make the step to being a good company think slashdot, stumbleupon, del.icio.us and similar companies that have been around a fairly long time become quite big but haven't quite cracked the step to hit great and are at risk from new competitors (esp. digg in the case of the first two). Studying this book and applying the suggestions within it to your web company is actually something quite important in our industry, and I would add it to your list.

Conversely I think Good to Great is a fantastic book for our industry.
