@Crackerjack_404 here are a few compsci books I like:
Crafting Interpreters: free on the internet, but the print book is a work of art. It’s also really well written and a remarkably easy read on a complex topic.
Security Engineering (Ross Anderson): if you are interested in computer security (and non-computer security) and all of its various interactions with the world, this is the book. The whole third edition is available for free on the author’s personal website.
Networking for System Administrators: short, easy read which gives you a good understanding of computer networking.
For Haskell/FP I don’t have any particular recommendations beyond the resources linked to on the Haskell website. I’ve heard that Haskell from first principles is very good (i.e. comprehensible and easy to read), but it’s quite expensive and print copies are no longer available.
