Haven't read it personally but heard great things about: Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp - Peter Norvig https://www.amazon.com/dp/1558601910

What I wouldn't give for 5 more books of equal quality to PAIP...

Unfortunately, there is not a drop of numerics in that book. It's a good book for learning about symbolic AI. There is, to a solid first order approximation, zero symbolic AI in a system like, say, Google speech recognition.

Sci-Fi: The Dune series. All of them. There is no excuse to give up after the first one. Frank Herbert was a philosopher who worked in the medium of the sci-fi novel. Fantasy: "The Worm Ourobourous". If Christoper Marlowe had invented the fantasy novel genre, this is what he would have written. The prose makes modern fantasy look like milquetoast. Criticism: "The Art and Craft of Drawing" by Vernon Blake. The best attempt to capture the mental processes involved in drawing like the Masters. It was written in the 1920s when artists could still draw like the Masters and knew the tradition. Programming: "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp". A gymnasium for the programming mind.

Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp by Peter Norvig (an excellent book even if you don't want to become a Lisp programmer)
