The Little Schemer is a mind bender and short read. I would highly recommend it to any programer as something you should read ASAP. You’ll regret not reading it sooner if your unfamiliar with the concepts. Structure and Interpretations of Computer Programs is very good. It was MITs old CS textbook, it’s still highly relevant. It takes a while to get through and you probably would get the most value out of it if you already have a lot of programming experience. I also recommend Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton 2nd Edition (Don’t get the 1st edition). It will warp you mind to think in a functional way. I would put it up there with K&R in terms of how well written it is. I’m a student at a “Java school,” reading these has made me far better than my peers at programming. Paul Graham has a lot of good essays on programming too, as well as life stuff.
