[Math] “Must read” papers in algebraic K-theory

Question

I'm mainly interested (graduate student) in surgery theory and geometric topology.

If I have a chance to suggest "must read" papers in geometric topology for beginner,
I'm very glad to suggest "Topological Library" books volume 1,2,3
(including monumental papers of Smale,Milnor,Kervaire-Milnor,Thom,Serre,Novikov…)
available in the following cite.(volume 3 is not available in English edition up to now)

http://www.amazon.com/Topological-Library-Characteristic-Structures-Everything/dp/9812836861/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296894607&sr=1-1

Question: What are "must read" papers in algebraic K-theory?
(I hope that most of them can be readable with basic understanding about classical K-theory such as Rosenberg's text or Milnor's ann. math. studies book)

Answer 1

I'd say, of course Quillen's "Higher algebraic K-theory I", the "K-theory Handbook".
