Jim's Review

🐛
SICP is the kind of book that makes you feel like you've been programming wrong your entire life. It's mind-bending, beautiful, and will fundamentally change how you think about code. The wizard on the cover isn't just decoration — this book is actual magic. Every programmer should read it at least once.
