Patrick Kua, a developer, trainer and coach with ThoughtWorks, has compiled a nice list of books that he has dubbed The Essential Agile Reading List:

One of the searches that stumbled across my blog was the “Agile Coaching Reading List”. Running the same query returned a huge mish mash of lots of different things so I thought I’d put together my list of essential reads.

Kua’s list is divided into several categories, including methodologies and planning, continuous improvement and development practices. Commenters have added a few volumes to the list as well.

Go check out The Essential Agile Reading List and find a tome for passing the time at work.
