That's a totally valid counter point about the reading. Also as I said the recruiting work I do(which is about 30% of my job) isn't hiring programmers. In the field I'm in I doubt the last book you read question comes up too much. To be honest I'd have favorites go either in an executive summary in the top or a cover letter, not a resume. I'd mention like I'm really excited to work at XYZ because of your use of a React.JS combined with your Fortran to JS transpiler, in fact I worked on this project that uses that Fortran->JS program when I was at ABC company. You bring up an interesting point how the needs of a recruiter(internal or external) are different from a hiring manager in terms of detail/information.
