although it is not *absolutely necessary* to read Knuth's art of computer programming to become a good coder, it does help you a lot, and doesnt harm u in any way.
you dont need to understand evry page of it, just read whatever interests you in that.
it will surely help in your job interviews and also definitely in programming.
many people are shy of touching that book; thinking its way beyond their level, but it is not like that.
you just need to be good in high school math
a complementary book to knuth is the popular CLRS intro to algorithms ( which i am sure every algogeek would hav read )
hope i was helpful
