    Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - If you’re not a software engineer or mathematician, this is probably of no interest to you. If you are, it is revolutionary, ground-breaking, life-altering. It will completely change the way you think. Especially if you were taught in the Object Oriented and Imperative style that 95% of universities teach these days.

Also by Sussman, The Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics is a great physics book if your background is in computing or math.
