There are books on here that I think are worthwhile, that could be called classics, given the attention they've received. But not the whole list.

Generally, they are the ones that are specifically tied to the act of software development, of making things and getting good at doing that well, rather than the process and other roles surrounding it.

But then it seems that, given the definition from SWEBOK and others like http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?SoftwareEngineer, software engineering is more about the process than the product. So this list may be correct, and the reason I don't hear about some of these titles so much is because I'm not as much a part of the process crowd.
