Technical books for IT Engineering & Architecture

IT technical books are, by and large, in English, which is why most of the books here are in English as well. This list is not intended to be comprehensive or a good directory but rather lists the books that I have looked at or read.

However, since I am very interested in IT engineering and architecture, most of the books revolve around this topic.
