List of 27 papers (supposedly) given to John Carmack by Ilya Sutskever: "If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today." 
The list has been floating around for a few weeks on Twitter/LinkedIn. I figure some might have missed it so here you go.
Regardless of the veracity of the tale I am still finding it valuable.
