My favorite Computer Science books, and why

There is a lovely streamer actually reading live each page of Knuth's books and even pausing to study the suplementary math.

These threads are dangerous for the screws holding up my bookshelves (and my wallet). Surprising to not see the "standards", but an interesting list.

I'm surprised OSTEP (Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces) didn't make it to the list.

It's such a well-made book, and it really does justice to the easy in it's title. Top recommendation for anyone who's looking to get into operating systems.

There are several good threads about favorite CS books (and articles) on Lobsters. Here's the first I could find quickly: Your favorite timeless technical books?.
