You saved me a comment, none of the books in OP are really 'must read' and most of them are about project management methodology, not programming.
I was going to add to what you said with a link to a specific former thread I remember that was good, and it caused me to stumble onto a new feature in Google that I haven't seen before and which is most excellent.
If you google for:
