Books better than SICP?

No.

TaoCP, HAKMEM, CLRS, K&R, and that would be all. Well, only TaoCP is better, the rest are on par with SICP.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

None, as far as I know. PAIP is a close call. >>3 also mentions some books that come close (though I've only read through CLRS and K&R).

Well, fuck you too.

Dan Brown is the cleverest and most gifted writer of this era.  I had so many eye-opening moments when I read his magnum opus, The Da Vinci Code, that I had to replace my cum-bucket twice an hour.

The only thing I learned with Dan Brown is that maybe design patterns aren't so bad after all. Hey, if he was able to fool so many people with them, why can't I make a living that way as well?

You're asking what books are better than a beginner's programming book that until recently was all about a toy language?

The PDF of that was posted a few weeks ago. It's comically bad.

Name: Anonymous 2007-11-13 9:35

Any gay ass PDF is comically bad, just for existing. PDF is the kind of shit an Apple faggot with a $5000 piece of DRM shit, stylish $200 sunglasses, trendy clothes of similar price and a buggy OS would like. It's made for "designers", in a way that they can shove their retarded layout, fonts, colours and style up your ass. Enjoy your Comic Sans MS and 10 cm left and right margins, enjoy your shit good for nothing document format.

Also, what's with that "document" thing. Fucking faggot designers, trying to fuck me in the ass with their bullshit. The file is a fucking octet stream sitting in my RAM or non-volatile storage media. I shall treat it however I see fit; I don't need any faggot telling me what kinds of operations I can perform on it, nor some shitty retarded format specifically designed so that it won't be editable, i.e. you won't be able to make anything useful out of it. Fuck that shit, fucking metrosexual designer webmaster Adobe faggots, enjoy your AIDS.
