So many books, so little time.
One of my mentors said to me, to read a complete book every month. He suggested me to read at least 2 books each month.
One book for technical stuff
One book for non technical stuff

sooooo what is your goodreads profile?
Here it is goodreads.com/user/show/67612430-p...
Sorry I missed to put the link
thanks! I'm starting to get back into books, and now I need to get back into technical books...
I might be showing my age here but I really like "Writing Solid Code". It gave me a sense of what is needed in terms of being a defensive programmer and the attitude needed to write robust code.
I also like the "Effective ..." books for any new language I do. Because it shows me the language's pitfalls right from the get go.
"Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" is a nice book that will top the list.
I would add "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" as well.
I'm currently reading this. Indeed this is a great book.
I keep the good parts close by when working on front end Javascript.
Head First Design patterns is also a good book for design patterns
At least one read of CLRS for someone who's serious about programming
JavaScript: The Good Parts
2008
is still relevant?
Yes from me
