"Coders At Work" http://www.codersatwork.com/ http://www.codersatwork.com/ It doesn't have either code or very specific recommendations. It's a number of interviews with great programmers. Reading it is like talking to brightest minds in programming and getting precious pieces of advice from them. How they approach problems, debug, what tools use, how they came to programming and why they love it. For me that book was a huge injection of inspiration to master my programming skills and enjoy programming.
