Neufeld's von Braun book is great! It doesn't pull any ethical punches -- it's almost clinical in the treatment of his early career opportunism within the Nazi regime.
The bottom shelves are dedicated more to rocket science than human spaceflight, generally, which is why I don't have Hadfield's book. I met him once though. I did grad school in Planetary Science and got to meet quite a few astronauts and have a few beers.
