	tl;dr: A curated reading list of foundational distributed systems papers, spanning Lamport's work on logical clocks, Byzantine Generals, and Paxos, along with FLP impossibility, Viewstamped Replication, CRDTs, Raft, and the Bitcoin whitepaper. Intended as a starting point for understanding the field's core problems and solutions.
	HN Discussion: ↑Suggesting additional deeper-cut or applied distributed systems papers to complement the list ↑Admiration for Lamport's foundational influence on the field ↓Criticism that the list omits important works like Armstrong's Erlang thesis •Sharing alternative or supplementary reading lists and courses ↑Nostalgic reflection on the enduring relevance of these fundamentals
