Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman (or anything else by Feynman is very relevant)

Understanding the Linux Kernel is surprisingly thorough not just in its coverage of the Linux kernel, but also architecture and OS design in general

The Design and Implementation of FBSD book now covers 5.3, which is much less dated than the 4.4 text.

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach is one of my favorite CS books and covers AI topics with surprising clarity.

The Design of Everyday Things

Linkers & Loaders, I'd hesitate to call this a bible of any sort, but it's a rarely-referenced gem that covers a topic few others do and it's relevant to me, at least.

Probably others I'm missing. This is a very good list though.




Thanks for adding to it yan! I have been meaning to get my hands on the Feynman books...
