Maybe this won't be a popular opinion, but there are some non-CS-specific works that really helped cement some underlying principles.
Namely, the fun stuff like "Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games" articles, "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Hofstadter, and "The Cyberiad" by Stanislaw Lem.
These require a bit of thoughtfulness applied to relate to CS. And it was specifically worthwhile to actually work through the number theory stuff in GEB.
