Let's start meta:

Lamport - State the Problem Before Describing the Solution (1978). … 1-page memo. Read it.
Herlihy - Wait-free synchronization (1991) … Truly seminal. Lucid + enough good ideas for 4 papers easily.
Cook - How complex systems fail (1998) … 4 pages that anyone working on/with complex systems should read.
