Books on my social networking To Read list

There are so many great books out there and not enough time to read them all.  People recommend books to me quite often and others I find through my own searches. I have 4 or 5 stacked up at home but also have the following books on my To Read list in no particular order:

Storytelling in Organizations: Why Storytelling Is Transforming 21st Century Organizations and Management

Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications

Social Networks and the Semantic Web

Network Flows: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?: Persuading Customers When They Ignore Marketing

Stone Age Present: How Evolution Has Shaped Modern Life -- From Sex, Violence and Language to Emotions, Morals and Communities

Small Worlds: The Dynamics of Networks between Order and Randomness

Managing the Unexpected: Resilient Performance in an Age of Uncertainty

Sensemaking in Organizations

Information Foraging Theory: Adaptive Interaction with Information

Organization and Environment: Managing Differentiation and Integration

What is on your social media reading list?  Any recommendations or suggestions from this or other lists?

Great list! Thank you for sharing.
I also highly recommend you consider Patti Anklam's Net Work: A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining Networks at Work and in the World (http://tinyurl.com/6saoaz).

Rachel - thanks for the list. Although not focused on social technologies, I'd like to add a shout out for a great book of leading edge examples from companies who foster ideas and innovation through peer-to-peer assistance programs. It's called "Hot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy - And Others Don't" by Lynda Gratton. In it, you will find excellent ideas to apply to the 80% program/policy side (vs. 20% technology side) of deploying community-oriented destination sites in the enterprise. Also see the supporting site called Hot Spots Movement www.hotspotsmovement.com

Thanks for the great suggestions Christopher & Rob - both sound excellent.

I also got some advice privately that I thought was good so I'll share: to prioritize pick one book that extends your existing knowledge and one that expands into to an area you don't know a lot about. Sounds like a great way to work through a reading list.

Rachel,
I like your list and I'll add another book: Groundswell, by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff. The best social media book i've ever read.
