Books about computing / IT / Work-stuff I'd like to read

Here's a short list of books that piped my interest about IT / practical computing that would most likely be educational to read, or at least skim.

First up is Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project by Karl Fogel. It was strongly recommended by Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick of the Subversion project in their Google Talk entitled, "How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too)." So I think it is worth checking out on that recommendation alone.

Next is Scalable Internet Architectures by Theo Schlossnagle. It is an IT area I'd like to not suck at, and it has some positive reviews by Garrett Rooney & Cal Evans.

I haven't decided if Building Scalable Web Sites by Cal Henderson is worth checking out or not.
