1		Introduction to Algorithms 2nd edition [CLRS 2001] Introduction to Algorithms 1st edition [CLR 1990] by: Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, Clifford Stein. I have both version of the book now :) and have read most of the chapters (~ 70%). This book is a-must-have (and read) to be a good programmer.
2		The Algorithm Design Manual [ADM] by Steven S. Skiena (website). I already have this book, a very good book. Also a-must-have for every good programmer.
3		Programming Challenges [PC] by Steven S. Skiena and Miguel Revilla I also have this book. Really interesting book. Get one copy for yourself :)
4		Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms [DAA] by Anany Levitin A book in design and analysis of algorithms. Have a new algorithm classification technique and use a lot of puzzles to explain concepts. Try it :).
5		Programming Pearls [PP] by Jon Bentley A nice programming book :), actually this book is a compilation from Bentley's writings in Communications of ACM (CACM) Newsletter.
6		The Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-3 [ACP] by Donald E. Knuth Hard to understand for beginner but worth to read (quite mathematical) Note: I don't have this book...
7	Others	Anything else related to programming. I have a long list actually, but the first few books above are already sufficient (even though most are expensive)...
