Yeah, seconded. Still on my shelf after 25 years and I still occasionally dip into it.

The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov is a great (and shorter) read.

"Flexible pattern matching in strings" by Gonzalo Navarro and Mathieu Raffinot. A rare book that marries the theoretical and practical. It has good worked examples.
