If you've been programming for 6 years and have liked using Matt's book, I think you could handle either of them. Start with the re- factoring book, which uses, as a rule of thumb, the "smell" of code to detect what needs re-factoring, all you need to start with that book is your intuition and a desire to make your code better.

I quote one of the reviews I see there, perhaps I need something more basic.

while this book is an extremely important contribution to software developers, it is structured in a way that makes the material difficult to absorb if you aren't approaching it with substantial previous knowledge about developing software
