I started reading this book, but lost interest pretty quickly. Maybe you'll like it if you give it a shot: https://www.amazon.com/Code-Reading-Open-Source-Perspective/dp/0201799405 https://www.amazon.com/Code-Reading-Open-Source-Perspective/... Effective Java by Joshua Bloch has code snippets that are very well-written, as are the examples in The Go Programming Language by Donovan et. al. I read practically all the code in Effective Java, and a lot of the examples in The Go Programming Language (I keep dipping into this book every now and then as I have to learn some aspect of Go, which I use at work; I think I may actually sit down and read this book cover-to-cover and perhaps play with most of the examples). If you know C, you may want to give the examples in The C Programming Language by Kernighan et. al a go. The examples are written in a bit of an archaic dialect but still very clear. Another book of note that is funny and engaging (but of course not something that has professional value) is If Hemingway Wrote Code by Angus Croll: https://nostarch.com/hemingway https://nostarch.com/hemingway. I think I have read all of the code in this book.
