I'm a big fan of 'The Elements of Computing Systems' - takes you from NAND gates to pong.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elements-Computing-Systems-Building-...
Programming languages:
Haskell - Lots of interesting language features that you don't see elsewhere
Assembler - Already know some C, but would like to be working knowledge of the inner workings of computers (especially things like cache misses etc)
R - Need to brush up on statistical analysis skills
Natural language: Already learned English... I guess I'd take Japanese or Korean next? It'd be mostly for entertainment.
