Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (Second Edition) A classic, before the fall (they started using Python). I advice buying second edition, and hardcover, not softbound.
A must read for every serious programmer This book has to be read as a self study. Mind you, this is not an easy read as a self study book. It will frustrate you no end; but the results will surely be rewarding.
