Why is this book considered so great?

it abstracts away syntax and focuses on using logical deduction to solve problems, which helps make your skillsets more flexible to any future language.

Any more books I can read on the train without any computer near me that will improve my problem solving/programming skills?

It explains definitions, common terms, and concepts exceptionally well, where as "Java for Dummies" is just going to tell you what to type to get a result.

It's a dense read but if you sit down and even just read the first chapter you'll absorb a decent amount of knowledge.

It's not the kind of book you can just skim the pages and get the intent.

This desu... might be useful with a computer but strictly not necessary because you are going to look things up anyway when using regular expressions anyway if you are new. But it's a great way to know the powerful shit it can do.
