Define low-quality, boring and outdated in this context, and provide alternatives. I am waiting.
Well, Java Concurrency in Practice certainly isn't low quality but it is boring and outdated. An alternative would be Clojure For the Brave And True :)

Java may be outdated, but "Java Concurrency in Practice" is not outdated if you're one of the millions of Java programmers still working in that language.
Am I to presume that this list carries as much validity as most other "recommended reading" lists? /which is to say, books which most working in the field didn't read to get into the field, don't read during the actual job, and probably aren't going to read except maybe as a reference chapter here or there?
EDIT: Correction; I see Code Complete.
Looks like C++ got a bit of an upgrade in the canon... The Programming Language Bjarne Stroustrup ISBN 9780321563842
A surprisingly low-quality, diluted, conformist list of mostly boring and outdated books. You can't expect much innovation to come from a team reading this. I scanned through the list 3 times looking for something of value, but nothing caught my eye. Disappointed by Intel.

Planning to switch from c to c++; I'm really exited to read this. @commenter: The word switch doesn't have to rely on relevance between subjects it is referring to. It has more to do with the speed of changing the direction.
i suggest you phrase it 'planning to learn c++' - there's hardly any switching from C if you plan to write modern C++, because there's hardly any C in it.

Android books from 2012 for one. Alternative would be recent Linux for Embedded Systems or anything else besides teaching you ICS API
