I often here comments about finishing a mathematical/technical book over the course of a "few" weekends. But I don't see how thats possible if it includes completing all (or even most of) the given exercises. Especially when you have a full-time job.
An hour or so every day is much better and realistic.
I like Hennessy and Patterson Computer Organization more than their Computer Architecture, especially the last edition. I'm looking forward to reading the ARM version of COAD:

Shen & Lipasti, an under appreciated book. I like Hennessy and Patterson Computer Organization more than their Computer Architecture, especially the last edition. I'm looking forward to reading the ARM version of COAD: https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-j...
I would like to see a true rewritten version for ARM.
Dan Luu's style is so impressive for his ability to be super objective about pros and cons of things. There's a post he wrote where he traces his career and lists out possible missteps and successes. His ability to dispassionately look at situations and evaluate them on their merits rather than allow their connotations into his judgement is quite enjoyable to read. Also his talk at strange loop was spectacular.
We had "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Abelson/Sussman when I was at university, which I found a good introductory book. For a more thorough understanding I would recommend Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming".
