I've been using a system by BlogFuel to list "recently read" books in my sidebar. Alas, the service seems to be not working (at least it's not showing up on my page any more, nor on Kate's), though there's nothing on the site to indicate a problem.
I'm poking around on Google for how to turn an Amazon Wish List into an RSS feed, which you'd think is a problem that should have been skinned twenty different ways. If I can get an RSS feed, I can use Google Reader tools to create a sidebar from it. No immediate, easy, trivial luck so far, but I'll try to continue digging.

This (http://spendfish.com/wishlist-badge/) looked very promising, but the script would never resolve once on my page. Frustrating.
It's not? Rats!! Do keep me posted. I've been blogging about my recent reads on my Ask Daphne page, and still using an Amazon list, but I liked having a way to display the ten latest.
This looks very promising (no time to implement - must run to the airport): http://www.edazzle.net/amazon/
This doesn't look like it works: http://flashandburn.net/wishlistBadge/
This works great for an RSS feed -- but now I need to remember how to turn RSS into something that works on my blog: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=3cb13ca8b015d6b307d7227ffb8eb791
