Hi Frank,

Well, I don't have a list that I recommend.  I remember them all 
frustrating me ;)  It's also been way too long since I was looking 
around.  It's hilarious to me that all books are "compiler" books when 
almost nobody writes compilers (well, in comparison to all the data 
parsing, scripting language parsing, etc... going on).
