This is a good list.<p>That said,<p>Why second edition intro to algs?  Why not third?  also, considering that intro to algs is one of the "Books  Programmers Claim to Have Read" <a href="http://www.billthelizard.com/2008/12/books-programmers-dont-really-read.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.billthelizard.com/2008/12/books-programmers-dont-...</a> , so those planning to read it, note that it is best learned in a classroom setting where you are forced to work through the problems.<p>Finally, interesting that he does amazon reference links to all these books, hopefully profit opportunities didn't taint the items on his list!
