The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1-3 (use Vol 1 if only one volume is permitted)
Book Description
It is hard to overestimate the influence of Knuth’s classic book, but it takes time and patience to read three thick volumes, if not used as a coffee-table book. What I get from the book, in addition to technical skills, is how a great mind treats a subject with rigor and how a problem, whether big or small, is presented and tackled. In a similar sense, Knuth’s “Digital Typography” is a great read too.
