	Yeah, this thread made me feel the same.  I've just spent the
weekend reading 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs' (the MIT
book on Scheme, which some one had mentioned earlier) to try and work out
what all the LISP hype was about.  Any way I found the book more
interesting/ useful than I guessed it would be, which got me thinking about
what I've missed out on not studying computer science, so I was wondering
what books people would put in their list of all time best/ must read
computer science texts?
