Top 100 Books of SW Engineering

I just found out a great compilation of the top 100 books of Software Engineering. The method for computing the list involves Amazon ratings, Jolt Awards and Google hits, so it's as scientific as it can get...

Looking at the list makes for a tremendous wish-list/bookshelf:
