Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS) This book may have the most misleading title of any programming book ever published. It's widely used at many universities, usually in graduate level algorithms courses. As a result, any programmer who has taken an algorithms course at university probably owns a copy of CLRS. However, unless you have at least a Masters degree in Computer Science (and in Algorithms specifically), I doubt you've read more than a few selected chapters from Introduction to Algorithms.

Really? Because I still have mine from undergrad, and when I was using it to prep for a Google on-site, I was surprised that I had forgotten how far into it we had gone (there are dog ears back to chapter 36). Of course, that class was over ten years ago, and I (unfortunately) don't get to use it much these days, being that I mostly deal with RF and E&M.
