Books every self-taught computer scientist should read
I haven't read <i>Mastering Algorithms in C</i> (I have the perl version) but if you want to mention one book on algorithms, that's got to be Skiena's <i>Algorithm design Manual</i> (<a href="http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~algorith/video-lectures/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~algorith/video-lectures/</a>). I also like Jeff Erikson's algorithm lecture notes (<a href="http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe/teaching/algorithms/notes/all-notes.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe/teaching/algorithms/notes/all-...</a>) that comes as a 800+ PDF file.
