For me it was "Teach yourself...Assembler" - not because it was a great book or anything, but it was the first book I purchased to learn actual programming.

Where i live in the suburbs we don't even have sidewalks ffs. I live about 3 blocks from my kids' school, yet they are driven or take the bus to school because kids are not allowed to bike or walk to elementary or middle school, unfortunately.
