Yo @michael_nielsen - I heard you liked reading lists, so I put a reading list list in my reading list so you could read my reading list list while you read my reading list.https://autotranslucence.wordpress.com/what-im-reading/ …
What are your favourite reading lists? A few I've pulled many items off: Alan Kay's: http://www.squeakland.org/resources/books/readingList.jsp … @stewartbrand's: https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/03/07/stewart-brand-reading-list/ … @patrickc's: https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf

This roundup of "best introductory books" is awesome, from an Ask MetaFilter thread posing the Q: "What single book is the best introduction to your field (or specialization within your field) for laypeople?" http://www.septivium.com/b/2009/05/07/mefi/ …

Similarly interesting crowdsourced list, but drops the "introductory" requirement: The Best Textbooks on Every Subject https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xg3hXCYQPJkwHyik2/the-best-textbooks-on-every-subject … (Also should note it by no means actually covers all or even most subjects in current form…but not a bad start!)

@worrydream bookshelf http://worrydream.com/Shelf2015/ is nice. That said I think annotated bibliographies are the most helpful, e.g. for math http://www.cargalmathbooks.com/ orhttps://github.com/ystael/chicago-ug-math-bib … - End of conversation
