I'm really surprised that nobody has mentioned the dragon book yet: Compilers: principles, techniques and tools.

This taught me more or less everything I know about formal languages & automata, which are just such a powerful, simple and useful way of thinking about a ton of problems in computer science. It also made me realise that building DSLs (domain specific languages) is actually really easy, and very often having the right language turns an intractable problem into a simple one.

Nice, thanks. Though it's from 1995 at the latest (according to the site) while there is a recent publication of the Dragon book as recently as 2013 with up to date topics.
