Recommended Reading List for Summer Interns
I host several student each year at ORNL and have started encouraging interns to read several books as part of their learning experience at the lab. This lens lists several of the recommended books in a few categories that I think are important for Computer Science interns to read. In this list you won't find the typical CS related titles, but rather a number of books designed to stretch your thinking a bit. If you are a student or are working in this area, I highly recommend you check out some of these titles.
