1. You are not Sam A. 2. I asked 3 must-read books, not just 24 good ones. 3. The article is published by Kamil Szybalski, rather than Sam A.

Sam has answered this question in various forms and fashions on several past occasions and I thought you would like to know what he said at those times. But feel free to be snarky and swear at us instead.

I don't really get the point of down votes. I was honestly interested in Sam's personal response and not the lmgtfy.
