Ask HN: What book should I recommend to someone who just finished LPTHW?

More Info:

I recently recommended Learn Python the Hard Way to someone who has no programming background.

He just finished the book and is asking for:

1)A python book to read next.

2)A book for another programming language that he can learn.

Any recommendation is appreciated.

Thanks

After i learned python i went on to learn scheme,he might like "How to design programs". http://www.htdp.org/

I haven't been paying attention to the world of python books for a while, but i started with the O'Reilly books by Mark Lutz.

If he wants to learn objective-C, Programming in Objective C by Stephen G. Kochan is a great book
