SICP, K&R, and the C Language in General

Ok, what's with the huge circle-jerk about these items in /prog/? It's like if anyone doesn't read all of these and memorize them backwards and forwards, and if anyone programs in anything OTHER THAN C, they are completely retarded and should burn themselves alive.

Props if any of you can answer the question without degrading yourselves to trolling

OP here.

Yea, I know. Those are just the things you guys swoon over all of the time, never said SICP was a C book (although K&R is, being the "white bible" and all that). Shouldn't be fooled by the "in General".

Also: TAOCP, I know the books, that isn't what I'm asking about...
