big list - What papers should everyone read? - Theoretical Computer Science - Stack Exchange

http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/1168/what-papers-should-everyone-read

We all have favorite papers in our own respective areas of theory. Every once in a while, one finds a paper so astounding (e.g., important, compelling, deceptively simple, etc.) that one wants to share it with everyone. So list these papers here! They don't have to be from theoretical computer science -- anything that you think might appeal to the community is a fine answer.
