Introductory references for NGS newbies

I am often asked for a good NGS reference, or references that explain the technology used in next generation sequencing experiments. I have gathered together a list of my favourites over the past few years and thought readers of this blog might like to see what I'd recommend. I would be very interested to hear if you think I should include other references and if so why.
