They're really good books specially if you want to program in a "modern" language but I personally couldn't stomach the code style nor the TDD focus. I'm probably being really unfair to the author, so please don't let this be a deterrent!

I personally enjoyed `Modern Compiler Implementation in ML` and Crenshaw's tutorial [0] There's also a Forth translation [1] if you're into that :)
