http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus8/ is worth a look. However, if your
goal is to teach yourself about algorithms and data structures, I'd
suggest working your way through How to Design Programs (download
DrScheme as the recommended scheme implementation), and then proceed
with Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, the classic
text on the subject.
