From HacDC Wiki

The HacDC Reading list, featuring the finest hacker tomes. (If you have ideas on how to organize, categorize, and linkize these, use the discussion page. I've avoided adding too much detail, so as to minimize the amount of work that will need to be done to re-arrange the list once a more useful organization scheme is hatched.)

Kid's Books

Non-Fiction

Biography & History

Electronics

A very readable and nearly mathematics free guide to electronics components and schematics. There are many small projects that can be completed in a single evening of work.
Continues where Getting Started in Electronics ends and has many cookbook solutions to common tasks. If you've seen the Radio Shack "Mini notebooks", this is a compilation of all of them.
Similar in to Forrest Mims' books, but with more theory and math. Lots of analog circuits and discrete logic examples.
