Have you tried filtering your choice of books through something like Goodreads? In my experience choosing books with a minimal rating of at least 4.0, preferably >4.2 really leaves you with the cream of the crop. I just got deep into systems and software architecture and I've been very impressed with the first three books I've read. (Haven't tried it on actual programming books, but I'm pretty sure the outcome would be the same).
