How many of you so-called Computer Scientists out there have "The Art of Computer Programming" by Knuth on your bookshelves? If not please but the series all 4 books!

@freemo

I'll try not to sound like a gatekeeper here, so I'll put it this way...

If you're an aspiring computer scientist, or a professional / expert computer scientist, TAOCP and SICP are some of the most amazing books in the field. If you have not read them, they should be on the VERY TOP of your wishlist!

"For Dummies" books are cheap for a reason: because they're, well... For dummies.
Also any "Teach yourself X in Y hours" bullcrap.

@MutoShack @freemo I really like this. Most of the programming I know, I've taught myself. I take my study quite seriously, and while I can get the job done, I always worry about coding WELL. I'll take a look at these books.
