I think GEB is probably better if I had to pick 1 book. I've never read through the whole SICP just flipped through the pdf and never saw anything mind blowing like everyone says about it.

It is a meme. Anyone impressed by it must literally know no CS whatsoever.

it's a introductory text, but a great one.
Effective c++ by scott meyers, also modern c++ design by herb sutter. Both books will make you a c++ god. You can also just google their titles + pdf and download them for free. There's also effective modern c++ by scott meyers that talks about c++11-14 stuff.

Template metaprogramming is just now geting popular cause c++ compilers are good enough so all that dude's shit in that book still applies.
Personally it was Programming Language Pragmatics, I knew about most of the contents already but it's well written and provided some insights, would recommend.

Useless for teaching programming, great fun to read.
