Here's a random list of books I've read, that I believe will give you an edge and will fill some CS gaps.

If money is not a problem, they say this is a heirloom

http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Programming-Volumes-1-4A-Boxed/dp/0321751043/

If time is not a problem, here are a couple places with many more references:

https://github.com/chhantyal/influential-programming-books/blob/master/books.md

https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books.md

http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/3253/what-books-should-everyone-read

Things that are missing cause I don't know books about them are:

  • Linear Algebra
  • Networking
  • Cryptography
  • Signal processing and communications
  • C/C++ (they say the K&R and the Stroustrup are the way to go)

Electronics is not a requirement for CS, but might help you understand many underlying concepts, here's something that looks legit:

http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Electronics-Inventors-Third-Edition/dp/0071771336

Let me know if you feel something is missing.
