It is a great reading list, I agree, but there are a few classics that he left out.  An example in Mathematics would be G.H. Hardy's <u>A Mathematician's Apology</u>, which I cannot recommend highly enough.<br><br>

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest<br>
video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians<br>
work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming<br>
is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we<br>
have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's<br>
without utilizing their potential for simulation.<br>

The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life.<br>
<br>
His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels<br>
of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It<br>
comprises a complete curriculum in winning.<br>
