I can't help but notice your excellent taste in books. However I'd feel remissed if I didn't yell at you in the voice of Homer Simpson.

I like your choice of books. How was the Von Braun book? One I don't see on your shelf, but would recommend it would be "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" by Chris Hadfield. There is a second book he did at the same time of just photography he took while at the ISS. Both are worth looking at.
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.
I can't tell where the neck ends and the head begins. That's a good ol' full bellied beast alright!
