Initially I sent this to Mr. Kraus, thinking it was going to
the list; but instead wound up in his inbox. Sorry about that :)
I don't post much.
Here are my picks:

1) Practical Unix Programming : A Guide to Concurrency, Communication
and Multithreading
By S. Robbins (PhD. MIT) and K. Robbins (PhD. MIT)
http://vip.cs.utsa.edu
Excellent book, however some of the code examples are very
concise and may require several passes for a new C programmer
to comprehend. I'll be honest, I had the privilege of taken
the course from Dr. Steve Robbins and it was excellent to say
the least. The second edition is very close to completion
and includes a project I worked on as an undergrad :-D
2) Understanding the Linux Kernel
by D. Bovet and M. Cesati
O'Reilly series
A nice book so far, haven't gotten to far with it. But I
would say that you need basic understanding of how an OS
works before diving right in.
3) Maximum Linux Security
by Anonymous
4) "the Safe book" aka: Practical Unix & Internet Security
by. S. Garfinkel and G. Spafford
both 3) and 4) are must haves IMO. The "Hacking Exposed series" isn't
too bad. But if you want some real fun set up a honeynet :-D
http://project.honeynet.org/
5) Any book by Richard Stevens; Adavanced Programming in the Unix
System Enviornment; Unix Network Programming vol 1 & 2;
TCP IP/Illustrated Vol 1-3; especially Vol 1.
6) Modern Operating Systems
by A. Tanebaum
Very good book from what I hear, but I don't own a copy.
7) Learning Perl
O'Reilly series
8) Sed & Awk
O'Reilly series
9) The C Programming Lang (ANSI Standard) (the white book, aka: the
bible to some, the k&R book)
by. Kernighan and Ritchie
This is a *must* have.
10) Books by Dietel and Dietel; such as "How to Program <foo>"
Just in case the K&R book isn't your cup of tea, I found
their series to be helpful.
11) Pick up a book on python..thats my next language. I heard
its really useful.
12) the Java "core" series by C. Horstmann.
13) Java network programming by E. L. Harold; currently 2nd edition.
Good book, covers Threads, working with URL's, secure sockets etc..
I think thats it. I have more book lying around but these were the
ones that came to mind right away.
