Here is an amazon wishlist I keep of good books that I have or want. Of course these aren't all free, though

Edit: Why would this get downvoted, exactly?

Because it's orthogonal to the conversation.

1. the site is only about free books.

2. nobody cares about what books you have or want. The site is about free books that appeal to hackers.

3. do you really expect somebody to trawl your amazon list? If there are free books on there that would be of interest to the target audience, upload them.

The list is pretty much on topic. It's books that appeal to hackers really since I made it from talking to people in #startups on IRC, the only difference is that, yeah they are real books that cost a few dollars to own.

Also it's more than introductions to various programming languages, there are more advanced concepts on the list that appeal to hackers.

Its 1 page of 17 books.

Whatever, you asked why you were downvoted, I just told you (for the record I didn't downvote you, I don't care).
