Anyone know of a good book/textbook reading list for Astronomy? Of course there's this: http://4chan-science.wikia.com/wiki/Astronomy_Textbook_Recommendations but I'm looking for something a lot more in depth than that.

Like journal papers?

More in depth? Part of those books are pretty fucking in depth. Usually when you want to go a little more in depth from that point on, you kind of know what you need or at least know in which direction you want to go. So I don't know what you are asking.

I believe if you study these books you are capable to read papaers which is currently the "most depth" you can find. You may also want to look at the references of these books to find more material

Sorry. I meant more in depth in terms of the topics addressed. For example, a list of books addressing black holes specifically rather than just a single book under the category of Compact Objects.
Want I really want is a good reading list which suggests a plethora of books for each individual subtopic when appropriate rather than the more common reading lists which suggest one or two books which usually only cover the basics of such subtopics.

Rarely does anyone make textbooks that specialised. The point of graduate level texts is to get people to the point where they can start reading review articles. Most graduate texts for the same field will contain redundant information so there's not a huge amount to be gained from reading several cover-to-cover.

If anything, a book on "black holes" would cover only the basics of various fields. Think of it like this: we don't read books on "electrons", we read books on electrodynamics, electronics, atomic physics, quantum theory, chemistry, and particle physics studying various aspects of electrons in depth.
