After years of lurking in this community I finally broke down and Read the Sequences™. Specifically, I read the 2015 edition of Rationality: From AI to Zombies, cover to cover.
Over the course of reading it, I became aware that it wasn't comprehensive. There would often be links going to Eliezer essays on LessWrong that weren't included in the book. I read several of these and enjoyed them. So before I move on to start filling my reading time with other subjects, I'd like to complete my tour through the rationalist community canon.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the omitted essays? Or any highlights? Are any of the 2018 updates to AI to Zombies notable?
So far I'm planning to read the Fun Theory Sequence [? · GW] and trying to find more content on anthropic-adjacent topics (realityfluid, etc.) by following links from Timeless Identity [LW · GW].

In case you missed it, here's the list [? · GW] of all the posts in the original full sequences (about 700 posts) compared to the ~370 in R:A-Z.
If you haven't, read Inadequate Equilibria.
Otherwise, for Eliezer's posts, you might want to look at his profile [LW · GW].

Oh, I didn't realize it was such a huge difference! Almost half of the sequences omitted. Wow. I guess I can write a quick program to diff and thus answer my original question.
Was there any discussion about how and why R:A-Z made the selections it did?
Do you have any recommendations for particularly good sequences or posts that R:A-Z omitted, from the ~430 that I've apparently missed?
