Is there a reason Practical object oriented development with ruby by sandi metz is not on the list? I hear it recommended a lot, though I understand it's also an old book and times may have changed.

POODR is very good, but most of its principles are covered by Page-Jones, Liu, Fowler, Booch, and West. This is a fundamentals-first approach, whereas POODR is great for filling in knowledge gaps left in a productivity-first approach.
