Oh, if we're heading *that* way, here are some "software project management and survival" type books that I think are classics: Peopleware, by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister Death March, by Ed Yourdon Brooks' MMM is too obvious to list. And I didn't actually like it. It's a classic, but a dull and outdated one. And it's about the only technical book that has actually made me cringe in horror at the amount of gendered language: "When a man programs, he does this and that and waves his penis proudly in the air because THERE ARE NO WOMEN HERE." I usually have a pretty high tolerance for that kind of thing, but MMM just made feel all icky. I think I learnt all I need to know from MMM from people referring to it, and reading the book itself was an utter letdown.
