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.
