#2I always see lists of like 100 MUST HAVE books for Computer Science. Is there like a top 5 must have books for Computer Science?
Re: Mathematics for Computer Science (2018) [pdf]
#3I really love this book, it is hard af but I still can understand 1-2 pages of each paragraph. I have received some great insights, like the function is the endless lists of inputs and outputs, and some really great humour, such as all is not lost in mathematical notation. I really wish I can understand this book completely before I die.

It’s very dependent on the type of work you end up doing IMO. Sort of like “which programming language should I learn?”. Not a great answer, I know..

#5This is why I love Hackernews - I've literally been looking for this recently and now I get it as a full PDF.
Does anyone have recommendations for better screen readers?

Screen reader which is able to read PDF with Latex formulas? I will be surprised if this is possible at all. I can not even name most of the symbols from that formulae.

>1-2 pages of each paragraph.
made me laugh, envisioning the book as written by Victor Hugo.

"1-2 pages"
Simplifying: -1 pages.

Given unlimited time, read all of them, learn all the languages. It will all help make you a better programmer in your preferred language. With limited time (as a normal being), start with the top 100 books. Any of them. The next will be simpler than the first...
I have an M.Sc. in Comp.Sci. Flicking through books like these, all the chapter titles resonate with courses, exams, and problems we solved. It also makes me realise I have probably forgotten more than I like to think.
On the other hand, bashing my head against graph theory and logic, has made me a much better programmer. Similarly, the hours spent in Van Roy and Haridi's fairly abstract and technically language-agnostic "Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming" made me primed to learn a lot of languages fast - because I had the primitives mastered.

Not sure what your goal is, but If like me you don't have a computer science degree, and want to fill some gaps, this site is fantastic.
See the "still too much section". If you want the top two books they recommend if you don't have time for the rest.
