I had no idea that's where Programming Pearls came from. I bought both books years ago (along with Dewdney's Tinkertoy Computer) and really enjoyed them. I need to dig them out for a re-read.
I really enjoyed Dewdney's "New Turing Omnibus", it is a collection of problems that can be solved computationally. It is a great gift for anyone wanting to solve problems with computers and new to computer science.
