Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications, by Kenneth Rosen (both have the same content, choose the style that you prefer), and - Concrete Mathematics, by our lord and savior Donald Knuth. I don't plan on reading TAOCP anymore as I would be dead by the time I finish reading everything else, but those introductory books are very good for beginners.
Discrete Mathematics And Its Applications, Kenneth H. Rosen (this is more foundational, but it's definitely targeted at a CS audience and touches on things like automata theory)
