Oops, I see some moss in my blog :). Long time no writing.
Well, it's my intention to write an entry about my list of computer science books with specialism on system and computer network for a long time. Of course, I don't have enough time to crunch and digest all the books in this list, but all of them are considered and surveyed carefully by myself. Computer science was not my major when I were a student but telecommunication, thus I have to read many books and materials to fill out a plenty of gaps in my knowledge in this field. And, it is my habit to make a cautious choice each time I need to read a new subject in computer science, because I don't want to waste my time for an inappropriate book. Hope that this list will be useful for someone like me.
