This is one of my favorite books about software development. I read it early in my career, and it was a big influence on me (for example, motivating me to learn Python).
One thing I've always thought ironic is how much nicer the typography and design is in this book, which was published by Addison-Wesley, than the books the Pragmatic Press publishes. And don't even get me started on Pragmatic's embarrassing covers.
