Nice list. I add "Failure Is Not An Option" by Gene Kranz, flight director on both Apollo 11 and 13 and also in flight control from way back to the Mercury program. It's a nice history of manned space flight from the controllers' perspective. Very interesting, especially from a general engineering point of view. http://www.amazon.com/Failure-Is-Not-Option-Mission/dp/0783891369 http://www.amazon.com/Failure-Is-Not-Option-Mission/dp/07838...
