[Tutor] Book recommendations?

[Andrew P]

I was just thinking about Jon Bentley's Programming Pearls, and how much I really liked it.  Nothing has really changed since 1986, and all the pseudo code translated nicely into Python.  It was by far the most fun I've had reading any book about programming.  Especially solving problems he presented before turning the page, or trying damned hard to!

Does anybody have any recommendations for other books on programming practices in general?  Any fun or philosophical reads on software architecture/design?

I saw that Alan Gauld recommends Code Complete, and went ahead and ordered that second hand :)
