I'm surprised Donald Knuth's Art of Computer Programming only got 1 upvote. I've never considered the series a good fit for beginning programmers but for someone with 7 years under their belt who is looking for depth of knowledge I really can't think of a better choice of reading material (Plus there's a nifty box set coming out next year:http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Programming-Volumes-1-4A-Boxe...)

Yes, it's true. Amazon says February 7.
