list of books

Since our team at work has just been formed, we were asked to submit a few things that we should get, one of them being a list of books. The team does application/integration architecture and implementation. Below is the list I came up with in half an hour, escaping work on Friday night. A lot of these are available on Safari, but since most of these books are technology-agnostic (i.e. not reference texts), they age well, and therefore should reside on a bookshelf.

Probably there are a few that I am missing, especially in the non-tech department. Some of these are also listed more for the culture shock value, to get people thinking. Also, these are not developers’ books per se, considering that folks should have a developer background and the nature of the group’s work.
