Yes there is apparently such a thing as a Cybersecurity Canon - Who knew?
Rick Howard, Palo Alto Networks Chief Security Officer, proposes the Cybersecurity Canon: a list of must-read books where the content is timeless, genuinely represents an aspect of the community that is true and precise, and, if not read, leaves a hole in a cybersecurity professional’s education that will make the practitioner incomplete.
I am not a cybersecurity professional, so I am allowed gaps in my education that render me incomplete. In my case it's grades 6 through 12 as well as a few of these books.
The Cannon as it currently exists (links at the original site)

Personally i think I would have put The Cuckoos Egg in there somewhere, probably cyber history, and I think Ghost Fleet is a far better choice than The Florentine Deception, especially since it makes you confront possible upcoming threats.
