# Computer Science - Great Readings
|
||
|
||
This document consists of great books or articles on computer science.
|
||
Some are here because there is a course covering the same material;
|
||
some are just great books that you should read at some point in your career.
|
||
|
||
Once you have made it through most of the curriculum, knowing whether a book is worth your time will become easier.
|
||
Or, if you are struggling in one of the courses, perhaps reading a book on the subject will help.
