Jeez, I get back from an afternoon away and ... Anyway, pretty much everything I liked has been mentioned already but here's some more. Maximum Security - Greg Shipleu Reasoned Programming - Krysa Broda, Susan Eisenbach et al Practical File System Design with the Be File System - Dominic Giampaolo Operating System Design - Andrew Tannenbaum Computers under Attack - edited by Peter J. Denning Bebop to the Boolean Boogie - Clive "Max" Maxfield Maximum Security is just really good on, errm, security. Reasoned Programming is by some lecturers of mine and is a really good introduction to formal programming techiniques and logic and coding discipline. OpSys Design is just brilliant and has the whole Minix source code at the back :) Computers under Attack is a colelction of essay from people like Robert Tappan Morris Snr. and the original 'Stalking the Wiley Hacker' and a brilliant thing on quines and compiler boot strapping from Ken Thompson. Bebop is a fantastic book on digital electronics and is a very easy read. Plus it has a recipe for Cajun Gumbo in it :) -- : off the wagon and hitching a ride
