I have been reading The Algorithm Design Manual
http://www.algorist.com/

I find it more readable than Cormen, et al.

But is that what you are asking for, or are you trying to sharpen your
problem-solving skills? Many progamming problems are solved by simple
loops and data structures without explicitly using any algorithms that
you would find in a book such as this.
