Books on my shelf that got /more/ generally useful with a bunch of years passing since I bought them. Simply Scheme, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, How to Design Programs. They're a hundred times easier to get going with the exercises using racket than the incredible faff it used to be when purchased, especially with SICP. Maybe if the book is good enough the wider community supports it? Then there's K&R C, K&Pike, Richard Stevens, of which any edition from the last 20 years is still pretty useful. Although there must be something better than K&R for C by now - the example programming style can be improved upon while still appreciating its considerable strengths. In that general direction Van Der Linden's "Expert C" and "The C Puzzle Book" remain fantastic books to grok C and low level programming. The Wrox "Professional Assembly Language" is both out of date (32 bit x86) and still about your best bet, update it and play with the x86-64 abi docs, a download of the intel optimisation manual, "Hackers Delight" and http://aggregate.org/MAGIC/ http://aggregate.org/MAGIC/
