I've typically not been a "book learner" when it comes to programming, but Master Class Assembly Language[1] really helped me understand assembly programming when I picked it up at age 17 or so. For me that's been the only programming language book that's been really helpful. Not sure how it holds up today though.
The other programming book that I really learned something from was Physically Based Rendering, the fourth edition recently featured here[2]. It had, for me, a really good mix of math and how to actually implement the math, and I found the literate programming style made it very easy to follow[3].
