Maybe one of the various Github "Awesome XYZ" lists that exists out there.

You might also track down the website for a DL class from a reputable university and mine the syllabus for a list of assigned readings. Do that for two or three such instances and you could probably come up with a pretty solid list.

Or may just ask Carmack to share the list he was referring to? Does anybody know if he responds to Tweets / Twitter DM's, etc?

EDIT:

Also, check out https://paperswithcode.com/

EDIT 2:

Also, not reading, but.. Andrej Karpathy has a Youtube channel now and has been putting up some videos on ML topics. Might be of interest?
