   Here are my choices(in no particular order). You can recommend something out of this as well.

   1) Electronic Devices and Circuits by JB Gupta.

   2) Electrronic Principles by albert malvino, david j bates, patrick e hoppe

   3) Electronic devices and circuit theory by boylestad and nashelsky

   4) microelectronic circuits by sedra smith

   5) Op-amps and linear integrated circuits by ramakant a. gayakwad

   1) Digital Electronics by william h. gothmann

   2) digital logic and computer organization by v.rajaraman, t.radhakrishnan

   3) digital fundamentals by thomas. l floyd

   4) digital logic design by mansaf alam, bashir alam

   5) digital logic and microprocessor design with vhdl by enoch o hwang

   6) digital design by m.morris mano and michael d.ciletti

   7) digital logic and computer deisng by m. morris mano

   8) digital systems design by charles h roth jr, lizy kurion john

   Purpose of buying these books:

   1) To prepare for comptitive exams.

   2) To have a good book as reference whenever I want to learn something. Having a book physically means a lot.

   3) Have good exercises that can help me brainstorm and understand the concepts. More is always not better but there should be enough.

   PS: Books like the art of electronics are out of scope. I generally don't like morris mano's books, idk why. That's all.

   As an addendum, I'd add that Sedra and Smith wrote an amazing textbook on semiconductors that I highly recommend anyone interested in the topic should read. Here's an Amazon link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Microelectronic-Circuits-Electrical-C...

   For a solid foundation of microelectronics, Sedra and Smith's "Microelectronic Circuits" is the classic go to. Back when I worked at TI, they actually gave every new engineer a copy.

   This is a very entry level book that covers a huge number of topics well and will serve as a launching point to more specific topics. It starts with basic transistors and works up through Op-amp design and digital VLSI touching on filter theory and clocks along the way.

   The "electronics" list doesn't include Horowitz & Hill's "The Art of Electronics". It's one of the best, used at some prestigious universities (written by 2 professors at Harvard, used there among others). Sedra/Smith's book "Microelectronic Circuits" is listed, it's the other one I'd mention for a course on the fundamentals of electronics engineering.

   Camenzind's "Designing Analog Chips" also deserves mention for people interested in analog IC design. It has a free version on his website: http://www.designinganalogchips.com/

   They say that they've actually only listed a random subset of the books some professors recommended, so that may be part of it.
