+## Services Engineering Reading List
+
+#### Overview
+
+* A reading list for services engineering, with a focus on cloud infrastructure services
+* Most content is on applied distributed systems and systems operations
+* Goals
+  * Collect relevant information in a single place
+  * Provide insight into how organizations running services think about systems engineering
+* WIP, please send suggestions to [@mmcgrana](https://twitter.com/mmcgrana)
