Well, don't forget about exceptions, unless you decide to ban them like many people do. So add:

Exceptional C++ by Herb Sutter

More Exceptional C++ by Herb Sutter

Exceptional C++ Style by Herb Sutter

And Templates:

C++ Templates: The Complete Guide by Josuttis & Vandevoorde

And of course you need some background in generic & metaprogramming, so add:

Modern C++ Design by Alexandrescu

Advanced C++ Metaprogramming by Gennaro

So you're looking at over ten books. What does this say about C++? Can you think of another language that has a ten book prerequisite?

All of that is hardly prerequisite for using modern C++ on a day-to-day basis. You can get away with just reading "A Tour of C++" and the Effective C++ books.

If you want to start writing highly generic libraries with the intention of submitting them to boost, then absolutely you should be reading everything in your list and more. But how many C++ programmers are writing boost libraries?

Yeah and the Exceptional C++ series is not 'about exceptions' either. It looks like he just googled 'c++ exceptions book', and the same for templates and metaprogramming, probably.

It is also excellent for people who have worked in an older style of C++ and want to get a jumpstart on modern practices and the new C++11 features and keywords.
