The Pragmatic Programmer, by Hunt http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/020161622X/hbo3-20
The Object-Oriented Thought Process http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0672318539/hbo3-20 I can't recommend these books highly enough ... they are both excellent. I would consider the Hunt book essential for any programmer's library.
