I have only two of these books - Cluetrain Manifesto and Monkeys with Typewiters (natch!). Did I get the right two? ;-)

Ian - as Monkeys with Typewriters heavily draws on most of the others, you haven't done too badly ;)

A couple more to add:Thanks to @Jas (Jas Dhaliwal) on Twitter who reminded me about Nick Carr's "The Big Switch" - a great book comparing the dawn of cloud computing to the invention of electricity.
Also, the new book from Zappos boss, Tony Hsieh, "Delivering Happiness", which I've just ordered from Amazon and is all about creating a more people-centric environment at work - much in the same vein as Jason Fried's "Rework" (pictured).

Thanks for the mention Jemima! I'm currently reading Cognitive Surplus by Clay Shirky. But for anyone who is interested, I highly recommend his previous book, "Here Comes Everybody". An excellent book offering great insights into how people are using social media.
