Thanks for working on this website, it’s a great idea!
Possible additions to your list of books (I’ve only read the first one so forgive me if they aren’t as good/relevant as I think they are):
Utilitarianism: A Very Short Introduction (de Lazari Radek and Singer)
The Methods of Ethics (Sidgwick—I’m told quite long and dense though)
The Point of View of the Universe: Sidgwick and Contemporary Ethics (de Lazari Radek and Singer)
Utilitarianism: A Guide for the Perplexed (Bykvist 2010)
Understanding Utilitarianism (Mulgan 2014)
Hedonistic Utilitarianism (Tännsjö 1998)
EDIT: the Very Short Introduction book recommends the other books listed (with the exception of The Methods of Ethics)
Embarrassingly wasn’t aware of the last three items on this list; thanks for flagging!
Neither was I before I looked at the bibliography in the first book!
I guess that kind of confirms the complaint that there isn’t an obvious, popular book to recommend on the topic!
