Content and Drawer must be two children of the DrawerLayout. So change your layout like that:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" />

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/book_list_rv_list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:scrollbars="vertical" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/ListView1"
        android:layout_width="241dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:background="#333"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="#666"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp"
        android:paddingLeft="15sp"
        android:paddingRight="15sp" />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
