Software Engineering Booklist (Part 1)

This list was originally published on the old site so I thought I'd reproduce it here since these books are so useful. I hope to start putting some reviews of them up soon. I've tried to put a couple of links up for each book where you can get more information, as well as a link to Amazon where you can purchase it (and I can get a small cut).
