Margaret Martonosi at Princeton runs a Great Moments in Computing Course where students read a through a number of papers that describe, well, great moments in computing.
Link to a recent syllabus is here: http://mrmgroup.cs.princeton.edu/cos583/syllabusS15.pdf
The papers in it are all well-worth reading and are mostly accessible (with some effort) to a first-year grad student (i.e., anyone with an undergraduate degree in CS or something related.)
PS. Don't make the mistake of reading easy papers just because they're easy to read.
