1. The Mythical Man Month (Some interesting essays, some dated) 2. The Art of Agile Development (First agile book to read, certainly interesting) 3. Object Oriented Perl (Very interesting stuff... I've read it a few times but keep flipping open to chapters and being in awe of the cleverness of the author)

…issues you deal with. Finish learning C, by writing your own C compiler. Yes, really: pick up the dragon book, learn lexx/yacc and do it - it will test your knowledge of data structures and algorithms, automata/language theory and software engineering. Learn Lisp or OCaml or Haskell just to know a functional language. Don't learn it to write webapps in it. Learn Perl - and not just for webapps (although mod_perl is incredibly powerful as far as fast, transactional, web applications go), including Object Oriented Perl. Learn enough to automate your systems administration / operations tasks (being able to modify bugzilla would be a plus too).
