Lambda the Ultimate and getting started...
I'm very interested in programming language design from an "armchair quarterback" standpoint. From time to time I read
Lambda the Ultimate but I just found the
getting started link which I'll be recommending to friends from now on. It's got the list of necessary books, background and recommendations for understanding modern languages and type systems. Me, I'd recommend working through
the Venerable SICP as any budding computer scientist's first step to understanding computation and programming as art.
