I don't wish to diminish Knuth's work, but it's definitely not timeless.

For an alternative, see Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C/Pascal/whatever". 
Not as rigorous about proving the properties of algorithms, but the 
selection of algorithms is more modern, and the presentation is 
palatable (instead of the assembly/flowchart mix that Knuth is so fond of).
There are other algorithm collections.
The largest one is the Internet itself. A search engine or Wikipedia 
would be my first stop when looking for an algorithm.

(Agreeing with the rest.)
