International Year of Astronomy

2009 is the International Year of Astronomy. There has been a lot of buzz among the astronomy librarians about bookclubs, and suggested readings. I'm starting to put together a list, and here are some of my picks:

Stargazer. Watson QB88. W3
Voyage to the Great Attractor. Dressler QB 991.673 D74
The Perfect Machine. Florence QB88.F55

Have a favorite astronomy themed book? Let me know about it!
