I have just started reading the bible of algorithms:

http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/...

Not a quick win but a comprehensive, in-depth algorithm book :-)

I've heard good things about that book, but to be fair The Bible Of Algorithms can only be Knuth's TAoCP.

The bible is definitely TAoCP, but its a little long to read before an interview, maybe select sections.
