Siddhartha by Herman Hesse [2] for contributing to helping me come out of excessive questioning of everything (philosophy) to science that helps towards actually answering the questions answerable.
Feynman Lectures in Physics [3] and Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman [4], with no need to explain "how". :-)
The Ghost in the Atom [5] for explaining varied views on the nature of science, especially Quantum Mechanics, and what goes in the minds of the top-notch scientists working on these problems.
Parsing Techniques by Dick Grune [6] for teaching me the fundamentals of computer science and helping me proceed with my deep interest in Artificial Intelligence.

The author provides the PDF of the first edition on his website [2]. Read the last paragraph of page 60 of the book (page 50 of the PDF). I read this again whenever coming in doubt.
A great thing about the book is also its annotated bibliography. The author cites hundreds of papers for extended reading, but has also written a paragraph on each cited paper explaining the context around it, how it fits with the rest of the subject, and a quick summary of what were the key contributions and findings.

Not exactly cheap, but pretty good.
There’s also https://www.amazon.com/Automata-Formal-Languages-Turing-Mach... which focuses more on the Chomsky hierarchy and automata, and doesn’t go into practical parsers and the related grammar types like the first book.
