“This is also one of the most bizarrely delayed technical book releases I can recall. The majority of the book was about detailed optimization for the 8088 and 8086…”

Software Design for Flexibility (2021)
This book left the deepest impression on me.
I was fascinated by the concept of additive programming. Personally, I spent a good while thinking about and studying the idea of "evolvability."
True, the overuse of flexibility can obscure control flow, and opinions on the book are divided but I learned many concepts from it. Since I often work on maintaining and modifying legacy code, this book was a great help.

That happened to me when I read The Little Schemer.
