This is like asking: How do I live my life? or make money (or love)?
etc
Not that there are no answers, rather too many to be useful.

So if you want this to be a little more useful you should say
- who you are (eg student, or what kind of professional) etc
- what you are looking for
- why ask this on a python list

Since we dont yet have any such data, some general comments:
- There are many good books on computer science (and many more not
good)
- Of those many have very little to do with programming languages
- Of course there are good CS books dealing with programming both
specifically (as in python) and generically (as in implementation,
semantics etc)
- The usual spelling is 'computer.'  If your spelling was deliberate
then, yes, Ive been 'conned' into answering :-)
