Awesome! Specifically not on my list already there's: Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming; Smalltalk-80: The language and its implementation; The Architecture of Symbolic Computers and Project Oberon: The design of an operating system and compiler. This reminds me Niklaus Wirth's Compiler Construction probably belongs in this thread.

I recommend these two free online/e-books by Niklaus Wirth: Compiler Construction https://inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/CompilerConstruction/inde... (https://inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/CompilerConstruction/index.html) How to build a compiler from scractch (if you read German, there is an even more concise book by him, "Übersetzerbau)". Project Oberon https://inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/ProjectOberon/index.html How to build a personal workstation including all software from scratch.
