No, I said SICP was by far my favorite book. I already knew how to program before joining the university.. my goal there was to go deeper than what I already knew. However, the big majority of my colleagues there didn't want that. They really enjoyed "Design patterns", "C++".. but hated anything potentially more abstract (Like compilers, Algorithm). Note that I'm talking about software engineering.. and not about computer science, which is really different imo (as engineer might have a more practical mind).
