Regarding scheme I would recommend the following two books. You can
actually get them electronically in full text (no need to wait for
Santa Claus ;-):

http://www.scheme.com/tspl3/

http://www.mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/

The latter one is for the inclined who really want to come to terms
with the concept of computer science in general.

The content of that book's first edition is also online available as
an excellent video course (made by HP-Television in the 80s; Great
haircuts!):

http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/

All instructors and authors above have been either related to or
members of the core scheme development team and I think it is a must
for anyone sincerely interested in programming.
