Greetings programmers.

I have a specific request today that I hope someone here has an answer to. There was a book I once found on /g/ years ago that I disregarded but it was held in high repute for its occult like angle of approaching computer science. I'm not sure if it contained actual coding practices within, or information designed to help get your mind into the proper space required for advanced coding but I'd love to read it now and feed my mind.

It may have been a seperate book, but I semi remember seeing a wizard on the front pointing to a Delta (triangle).

Anyway, any other books that would provide a strong introduction into advanced programming thinking (and not so much using the languages themselves) would be much appreciated!

Structural Interpretation of Computer Programs is the only Wizard book I know of, and probably the best programming intro you'll ever find.

As for 'preparing your mind', there's CS Unplugged, although aimed at kids it will teach you Trees, Sets, Automata and other CompSci concepts. http://csunplugged.org/books/

That would be SICP. You can read it free here:
