I've read SICP, and while it is a brilliant book, I think it is a really bad suggestion here, given what the op seems to be interested in.
SICP is a great introduction to programming topics like recursion, abstraction, and implementation of programming languages. It teaches a way of thinking about programming, which is quite abstract. It is utterly unhelpful if you're interested, as the op seems to be, in the more practical concepts of real-world systems, and the internet / web-development in particular.
