2 classics that don't require a whole lot of backgrond are:

- An Axiomatic Basis for Computer Programming by C. A. R. Hoare

- The Next 700 Programming Languages by P. J. Landin

The most recent paper I've read is:

- Storage strategies for collections in dynamically typed languages - Bolz, Diekmann, Tratt

I blog about some papers I've read on my blog [0], and these three papers I've mentioned have their own post, where I summarize key ideas of the papers. Take a look if you're interested.
