SICP (w/ Brian Harvey's CS61A lectures) influenced how I approach abstraction _a lot_. Its "baby brother" _How to Design Programs_, with its design recipe approach, ingrained testing and iterative refinement in me early on.
_Head First Design Patterns_ is a great influence too when it comes to OO-abstraction, for good and bad.
