I'm working my way (slowly) through SICP, and there are a lot of people who think serious programmers should read it. Have you?

No, but it's on my list of things to read when I get time.

Neither of your 'No' responses match what I suspect is a relatively common sentiment.

Agreed - the poll owner needs to add a "Not yet, but it should happen soon"

My "No, and I don't want to" should count as "No, but I've never heard of it."

I'd have taken the intro class to the Joy of Six if I'd had the opportunity. As for SICP, I've started it a couple times, but I regularly get pulled away. Same with PAIP.

Same. Based on these results though, I may have to add to my list of books to read at some point.

I'm 1 week away from the final in the last semester of SICP at Berkeley. Wish me luck! haha
