I haven't read more than a handful. I read most of what was available at the university library.
My favorite read of these was Digital Gold. I don't normally enjoy history but this was a page-turner for me.
I read Mastering Bitcoin in 2016-2017. I didn't really do the exercises and was just looking for a grip. I've forgotten most of the details honestly. It was also kind of dense.
On my short list for next Bitcoin reads:
- 21 Lessons by @dergigi
- Programming Bitcoin by @jimmysong
- Thank God for Bitcoin also by @jimmysong and @lylepratt and other authors I'm not sure made it to SN yet. I have a signed copy on my bedside. I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
Just finished 21Lessons tonight and I'd recommend it for sure. Very easy read and thought provoking.

Note that Mastering Bitcoin is available as libre/free work on GitHub (CC-BY-SA) which is, to me, a testament to the integrity of Andreas Antonopolous.
Just now looking around, Programming Bitcoin is also available on GitHub but looks to be under a non-commercial license (CC-BY--NC-ND).
Oh nice, looks like 21 Lessons is also on GitHub under a CC-BY-SA license.

21 Lessons is also available as a free ebook from Swan Bitcoin. https://event.swanbitcoin.com/21lessons/
I also recommend Inventing Bitcoin (free ebook with referral link) which is the first book on Bitcoin I ever read. It was oddly engaging.
