If you could go back in time and tell yourself to read a specific book at the beginning of your career as a developer, which book would it be?

When I teach introductory computer science courses, I like to lighten the mood with some humor. Having a sense of fun about the material makes it less frustrating and more memorable, and it's even motivating if the joke requires some technical understanding to 'get it'!

Some asterisk questions where recently migrated from superuser to serverfault. Most of the migrated questions belong on serverfault. One of the questions seems like a poor fit in my opinion, and belonged where it was. I attempted to vote to close it, I was going to choose the option to return ...
