Nice List ! Recognizing most and looking to put some on my wish-list.
Two notes :
The link to "The mythical man month" is broken (typo in the url)
You link a lot to Amazon which is fine for the reviews and the global reach. But for people who want to save a few bucks http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ is also very nice with world wide free delivery. ( I am not affiliated with them, just like their prices :) )
Kees -- thanks, I fixed the link.
Fantastic list! Good to see some Kaner and Weinberg on the list; a lot of colleagues I talk to only know the Beck and Fowler books.
I would love to get a copy of Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas Cormen. Is this book easy to read? I wouldn't want one that's full of academic stuff. Although I have solid programming experience, I am not adept at algorithms. I got interested in algorithms because I once went to an interview for a job that was all about it. I tried learning on my own but found it requires too much time and focus - things I don't have at the moment. I need something like an idiot's guide to algorithms, if that's at all possible.
