This tweet explains it all.
I have a huge pile of papers on my computer waiting to be read. Often I read parts of it immediately after I see the paper, but I forget about it until someone points on another article, how awesome that paper is. I then remember to read it more carefully.
One way to fix it is to work with like minded people and have serious (non-hand wavy) discussion around the paper.
The list below will grow. My hard disk has more papers than I can count. I have carefully chosen a list of very readable papers in the list below. Special thanks for the authors for publishing their great ideas.
