Ah, PAIP... it's such a wonderful book! I highly recommend aspiring programmers to read it even if they don't care about Lisp or AI; the sheer amount of common programming wisdom in this book is priceless.

Seconded. I divide my programming into pre- and post-having-read-PAIP eras.

There's nothing quite like PAIP. It's more a book history than a book of programming. Although the programs are the main focus of the book it's not what gives the book quality. It's programs are relics but, it's content is not.

PAIP, SICP -- seems like if a book has a acronym, then it must be great. Can't come up with more examples though.

I've seen TAoCP (The Art of Computer Programming) and TaPL (Types and Programming Languages) used before, and both are definitely great.

Sticking with the Lisp family: LiSP (Lisp in Small Pieces), AMOP (The Art of the Metaobject Protocol). More general: TAOCP (The Art of Computer Programming).

Edit:

CLTL2: Common Lisp the Language

CLRS: Introduction to Algorithms, referred to by the authors’ initials

CSP: Communicating Sequential Processes

EOPL: Essentials of Programming Languages

AMOP - The Art of the Metaobject Protocol

AIMA - Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
