Recommendation for algorithm references

I stumbled on a book by John Horton Conway, "Winning Ways".He had an iterative solution to the Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Could someone recommend some other interesting algorithm books?I'd prefer your comments, rather than links to search engines or book sites, thanks.

Fundamentals of Algorithms by Cormen et al is a good book for reference.There is another book "Data structures and algorithms design patterns' written by Waterloo professor,I think Bruno Weiss which is online .Algorithms in C/C++ by Sedgewick are also good.If you are working somewhere, then reading these books daily after the work becomes really exhausting.

"Algorithms in ..." is a series for many languages. I believe there is one specific to java. The 'bible' for algorithms is the series by Knuth called "Art of Computer Programming". They are very dense and background in mathematics especially with formal proofs is going to be

Thanks for your recommendations. I'll check them out.

Surely the Cormen et al. book is Introduction to Algorithms (Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest)?

Did you check Knuth?
