Just to throw in more opinion - I have rarely heard The Art of Programming referred to as a book that should be read. It's a book to have around when you need to solve a problem, but for your sanity, don't sit down and try to read any of them. You would be doing marginally better for yourself than reading the dictionary.
That said, I have enjoyed reading swaths of dictionaries :P
- dkersten 16y agoSure, its more of a reference manual. A lot of people still recommend it, though. For example, the stackoverflow question about recommended books. (I've read dictionaries too. And reference manuals for various libraries and languages. The Intel instruction set reference probably being my most read reference manuals)
