Often recommended marks titles that appear on a large share of curated engineering reading lists, from apublic meta-analysis of 36 listspublished in 2019. It is not a rating and nobody is quoted. The list predates several now-standard books, so no badge means “not on that list”, never “not worth reading”. Stars come from readers here, and only from readers.
