I understand your enthusiasm, but those manuals are way more information than you could possibly digest and will be extremely dry.

What you should be focused on is doing more dives, taking some more courses, and gaining real world experience. Reading books doesn't make a good diver and the knowledge wouldn't be much help for you at this stage.

If you are interested in some books to gain more real world knowledge I would recommend you start with Deco for Divers, Diver Down, and DIR: The fundamentals of technical diving by Joblonski (you can find the PDF online). I have also heard good things about the 6 essential skils, but I have never read it.

The books above will give you a much stronger foundation and cover most of the topics that your list of 12+ books does.
