I decided to begin this programming thing.

MAKE ME A MASTER PROGRAMMER

I am not spoiled by anything yet, so I decided the following:

1) read K&R
2) read SICP as the snake ordered
3) shitpost a little
4) ?

So, what do I do after K&R and SICP? Haskell? Also, I like /jp/ and 2hu, so I like cute books rather than ugly books, okay?

Why did you buy SICP when you can read it online for free on MIT's website?

The thing you're missing out is "programming". You can read as much about programming as you want, but if you don't write a lot of programs you won't get very far.

Anyway, after K&R and SICP, you should spend a significant amount of time (two or three years at least) programming. Then it's time to start reading higher level books. The Dragon Book (compiler theory), Modern Operating Systems and Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (OS development), etc.
