In addition to this reading list there is also a Webpointer page on which you find links to additional papers, background information and so forth. This Webpointer page will be updated regularly during the course.
To answer a frequent question: No - you don't have to read all of it. Only the required reading is really required. Be aware however that there are a few required items on the Web pointer page as well. If you do not know with which papers to start have look at the Course Calendar page.
