SICP gets challenging in the very first chapter. You should aim to do about 1/3rd of the exercises
Ask HN: Is SICP/HtDP still worth reading in 2023? Any alternatives?Original comment ↗

The text is interesting, but most of my learning has come from the exercises. You should plan to do the exercises.

All the Math You Missed by Thomas A. Garrity. I have not read it, but it looks interesting and is on my list.
