Read both, in this order:
1. How to Design Programs http://htdp.org/2003-09-26/
2. SICP http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/
If you should read only one, then only SICP (and watch the videos).

It's easier to watch them than to read the book ;-)
Multi-channel is better for learning. Reading the book is nice for
the symbolic brain, watching the video is better for the neural
network.
