While the idea itself is worthwhile, I didn't see any explanation why these books and not others were selected, and no underlying structure to the choices made by the author. He also frequently lists several books covering the same topic without mentioning how they differ from each other.

I have previously seen two similar lists that are in my opinion better than this one:

John Baez, How To Learn Math And Physics http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/books.html

Gerard 't Hooft, How To Become A Good Theoretical Physicist http://www.phys.uu.nl/~thooft/theorist.html
