Not a technical book, but once a programmer has the technical skills, the next step is managing other programmers. Great insights. Fast fun read. Unfortunate that it's full price even after all these years. My all time favorite computer book is

I'm a sophomore majoring in computer science and feel as if the curriculum is lacking a bit in certain areas. You were spot on by saying some schools are sacrificing the fundamentals to focus more on IT-centric areas. Thus, I've decided to be proactive and fill these gaps myself. I'm currently working through SICP (while trying to wrap my head around GEB), which I've seen recommended quite often. Excellent list.
