I recommend "Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming" Van Roy and Haridi. While SICP is an enlightening read, much of what it discussed, looked to be methods that do not all mesh together into one overarching discipline or "science" of programming, which is what CTM aims to do(But admittedly it is a much harder book, and I am still only in the very early chapters). Important questions like how programming in the large is different from programming in the small, how some methods scale and how some do not, topics like these aren't perhaps handled by either of the books, if my memory serves right.
