Managing Humans
Almost everything in this book is on Rands blog, but it is refreshing to remember the nicely written articles again.

Code Complete
Some of the contents may be obvious to the experienced programmer, but I wish I had read the book when I started my professional life.
Many topics cannot be applied to small projects, but surely anyone will find details of interest.
