Can't believe noone has mentioned this one yet:
Language: All
Title: The Art of Computer Programming, Third Edition
Author: Knuth, Donald E.
ISBN: 0-201-89683-4 (vol. 1), 0-201-89684-2 (vol. 2), 0-201-89685-0 (vol. 3)
Pros: The ultimate reference for just about anything algorithmic. Pretty much indespensible if you're doing a lot of algorithm design/implementation.
Cons: Somewhat expensive due to coming in three rather solid volumes. Also, they're probably not quite so useful if you're mainly gluing together existing components. Additionally, you may find it somewhat heavy going if you don't have a reasonable programming and mathematical background.
