OS -> Operating System Concepts by Silberschatz et al (The dinosaur book)
And I am surprised no one mentioned Operating System Concepts (the dinosaur book).
It was the most useful CS text I read in college.
It's an extremely detailed look at how operating systems work, down to the lowest level, and it explains a large number of things that we interact with on a daily basis.
