Cataloging the Canon

I love sites which try to draw in the knowledge of experts from around the web and present it in a useful way. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy about the internet. Canonical Tomes is trying to compile a list of canonical books in any topic. Users can submit book titles and vote on currently listed titles. If this flourishes, it could be a very nice resource, though it will need many more entries and voting experts than it currently has to beat out checking out the reviews, sales rank, and other information Amazon has on their site.
