Re:Books every self-taught computer scientist should read by tptacek on Wednesday February 15, 2012 @03:36PM (#3595932)
Skiena's is my favorite computer book of the last 5 years; it's radically different (and I think better) than CLR.

TAOCP is, considered on the whole, an even better work, but I end up using it way differently; I've consulted Skiena to solve problems, but TAOCP I more or less flip through and then read 10-20 pages of at random; I am never sorry I did.
