Thanks guys for your comments. I didn't know Code Ninja and Rockstars were not liked by the developers community per say. I would refrain from using those term

Thanks guys for your comments. I didn't know Code Ninja and Rockstars were not liked by the developers community per say. I would refrain from using those terms. Still I think my question remains un answered. May be I should re-phrase it as "How should I become a good programmer able to crack problems easily"? What books did most of you used to aspire to be a good programmer? Thanks again!

It's not about books; no book is going to make you a better programmer automatically any more than a book on running will make you a runner. Start programming at whatever skill level you're at, start some independent projects, get a part time job...when you hit your wall, then find a good book. You're going to get a lot more out of doing than reading.

book? just pick a problem and a language, and solve it dude. Start something. You learn through doing. no book solves this.
