The books you list are great books, but I still wouldn't take SICP or TAOCP off the list.
Generally speaking, I think the real question we need to be asking with lists like this, is "Who is the audience?"
- smanek 18y agothanks. I was shooting for people who had already read sicp, htdp, design pattern, etc (and who have at least tried their hand at taocp ;-)). Those are all great books of course, but there are a lot of topics outside their domain. I was hoping to choose books that complement/supplement the classics.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoI see. But wouldn't most people who have read SICP and HTDP and tried their hand at TAOCP be a bit beyond GEB and the New Turing Omnibus? I mean, I'd heartily recommend those to folks who haven't yet made the leap...
