I recommend Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans. There is an argument that OO is bad because it's so hard to do well. I have yet to be convinced that the same doesn't apply to Functional Programming.

Yes, but the difference is Functional Programmers don't have to actually build anything. They made a well funded mess in the eighties with the AI research, and now they can just feel superior to anybody else while producing a tiny percentage of production code in all fields combined, and not very good or popular one at that. The most popular or useful thing a functional programmer can build (or has every built, Emacs aside) is his own functional language. /s

    Well, I posted it tongue in cheek. I love me some Scala. What I find surprising is the lack of downvotes!
