Old timers, what did you read to study Unix or languages by the book?

Rather than all the lousy camps and tuts out there I am wondering what the old timers read for Computer Science that is still relevant today.

Free space:

-The C Programming Language by Dennis Ritchie

-RTFM

Jon Bentley's original 2-volume "Programming Pearls". I haven't looked at the 2nd, single volume, edition.

Pike and Kernighan's "The Unix Programming Environment", and their later book "The Practice of Programming"

Usenix put out a refereed journal "Computing Systems" that was really good: https://www.usenix.org/publications/compsystems/computing-sy...

The C++ Programming Language by Stroutrup

Programming Perl (the camel book)

Unix I just kind of learned by using it.
