Computer Science - Great Readings
This document consists of great books or articles on computer science. Some are here because there is a course covering the same material; some are just great books that you should read at some point in your career.
Once you have made it through most of the curriculum, knowing whether a book is worth your time will become easier. Or, if you are struggling in one of the courses, perhaps reading a book on the subject will help.
