The book list on ruby-doc is pretty-well structured.  It's coded by hand 
(it doesn't change often enough), but I cut-n-paste, so WWW::Mechanize, 
for example, should help with a fairly terse script to fetch the list.

But it seems simpler to just use the FAQ to refer people to more 
complete sources of information.
