Second Hennesy & Patterson. Read it 12 years ago, still remember it vividly; everything made more sense afterwards.

It's expensive though; you might do just as well with a used older edition.

A somewhat perverse alternative approach: get a book on how debuggers work (like "How Debuggers Work").



I actually have the pleasure of taking a course with Patterson this semester. He's a great lecturer and he manages to keep the (sometimes very dry) material very interesting.


The book is pretty well-written, but I've found the exercises to be very hard to get through. Still, it's a great resource for this type of work.


Fucker broke my wrist .. wrong book to read on the crapper.
