Post your favourite textbooks and why you like them
This one is great because it isn't at all dry, introduces you to some important concepts in computational/language theory, and has plenty of easy to follow implementations in C. Most importantly, you start pretty much straight away parsing infix to postfix and then evaluating it in the first hour or so.

I've seen this recommended a lot, never read it.
In my first year we used pic related and I wish I found it when I was in highschool. I tried to learn how computers worked but couldn't find any good resources - this book takes you from transistors to a MIPS processor, each part building on the last. Really easy to read and understand, too.
My final contribution
This book is one of my favourites. Highly accessible even for the dumbest of brainlets. Covers a wide range of computational theory in an engaging way.

Not your pic related, because even the newest edition doesn't skip parsing after introducing recursive descent/marpa/earley/packrat parsers or saying "use fucking antlr".
Also, modern compilers like Roslyn work more like a REPL for the sake of a fast error reporting to the IDE.
