The thing about programming books for me is that I tend to browse and skim through them more than read them. Might I also suggest The Underground Guide to Unix? (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/underground-guide-to-unix-jo...) You are probably not going to get a whole lot of technical information from it if you're already familiar with UNIX, but it is a fun fun read.

I tend to use them as reference usually, but I'm trying to treat them as supplementary courses. I'll have to check out The Underground Guide to Unix though, thank you.

Might I (i.e. me, not a programmer) make a suggestion for learning Pyhton? http://inventwithpython.com/

Thanks! Learning Python is another goal of mine for this year (in part to learn the reddit codebase).
