Tangled and WAHH are very different books. They're not substitutes for each other. Tangled is closer to Browser Hackers.

Would like to hear general information security recommendations as well.

A couple I've learned from (I've left out heavily topic-specific books like Cryptography Engineering since I assume you're asking for books about general information security):
Hacking, 2nd Edition - Introduces the foundations of memory and network exploitation
[Security Engineering](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html) - An overview of a huge array of info sec topics, from "E-policy" to nuclear command security.
Advanced Penetration Testing - Focuses on simulating APT attacks, using the author's penetration testing experiences to illustrate each point.
You can look at the Web Application Hacker's Handbook or the Browser Hacker's Handbook, if you want. But TTW tops them all.
