Pet peeve of mine: people who recommend textbooks they haven't fully went through. Going through Aho's Compilers and Norvig's AI takes at least one year (assuming you have a day job). And since the author of the blog post obviously didn't read the books, he doesn't provide any pros and cons to spending that amount of time into any of them.
