Two great books are at the top of my reading stack at the moment,

Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Maarten van Steen

Decent book thus far (I'm only a couple chapters in), although it feels dated. If I make it through, I'll post a detailed review about it.

and

ANSI Common Lisp
by Paul Graham

This is a re-read. Unfortunately I'm not able to work with Lisp as often as I'd like, and thus every once in a while I dust off the cobwebs. Each time I go back, I learn something new and am treated to a new perspective on everyday challenges. I want to get ahold and paw through a copy of Guy Steele's Common LISP: The Language, but as of yet have not had a chance.
