Ok, but when the sentiment in the thread is that the OP list was not useful I think it's a good idea to shift the focus of the discussion to other books that might cover the premise of the title.
Presumably a lot of the people that click on this thread do so because they wanted to know about good books relating to CS and programming. So let's tell them about some good books to read.
I also don't think the idea of "thread hijacking" applies in the same way on link aggregators like HN and Reddit. And really I don't think it applies much even for text posts on these sites because HN and Reddit use threaded discussion which make it possible to have a lot of simultaneous different discussions going in a thread at the same time in a way that linear discussion thread sites like 4chan etc etc don't make possible.
Also actually the 45th rule of the Internet is "when one sees a lion, one must get into the car." :P
