SICP

I have a confession /prog/. I did not read my SICP today, or ever for that matter.  I found the online version and fuck is that thing long.  I was wondering if its actually worth reading or is it just another text of the same "if you program good you will be a good programmer" with intermittent tongue and cheek humor peppered in shit.

It's an academic book from 30+ years ago that will also teach you Scheme. Read Cormen's Intro to Algorithms (3rd ed.) if you haven't already; it's more than sufficient. If you're into functional programming or AI, however, I'd say go for SICP.
