Two years ago I posted a list of my proposed reading in CS. It was a “100 Best Books,” list. It was made by searching the net and downloading other people’s lists, combing them and making a ‘consensus’ list. There were a bunch of ties for 98, 99, and 100 so I ended up with 158 on the list.
Below are the books finished in 2005.
