Ask HN: Best Books for Novice Hackers?

Hey all

Been programming on and off for around a year. It’s getting somewhat enjoyable but find much of the literature I’ve came across is aimed towards beginners or towards professionals. Thus I kind of get stuck repeating concepts, doing tutorials or venturing into career knowledge for developers - which I don’t want to be.

Does anyone any cool book suggestions around ‘hacking’, E.g throwing together and building projects recreationally?
