Query: Classic that is still worth reading

I read this book because I came across its name several times from different respectable sources. As far as I remember it was cited at least in Code Complete and Network Algorithmics. However, I also remember seeing the same reference in other places.So, after considering several times the usefulness of reading something from the 1982, I read it. I was surprised by the applicability of the book on today's programs. I guess that these tricks are of less importance if you work on Ruby/Python/etc. Nonetheless, it helps to understand the possibilities and limitations of computers.It is worth the time you will spent reading its 170 pages.
