Possibly my favorite programming book is Shared Source CLI essentials. It walks you through the internals of a functioning Virtual Machine for the .NET platform. You get JIT (compiling), GC, class loading, etc. It's presented very straightforward and there is lots of code to look at. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/059600351X/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0321159837&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0QBCT9069JX6E4MRFGJS http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/059600351X/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp...
