Yes, I don't want to belittle Knuth by any means, but sometimes it can be hard to understand 'the spirit' of the algorithm when you're worried about loading things into registers. I really enjoy the Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest book, and I have also discovered (unfortunately out of print) "Compared to what?" which has one of the nicest introductions to analysis around.

This would be the right place to post a reference to these two books ;-)

  1. How to Think about Algorithms

  2. Compared to what? An introduction to the analysis of Algorithms

    In my opinion, what is important is to learn how to derive an algorithm given some knowledge of the principles/techniques from classes of algorithms. The above two books are a great help in that regard.
