All Work and No Play Cures Insomnia...
On the advice of a co-worker, I picked up and read Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering, by Glass. It was a good book - written by an old software curmudgeon who's seen it all - several times. Makes me want some of my other books out of storage. 's been a long time since I've read Peopleware - and it's time for a refresher.
Also grabbed Joel on Software by Joel Spolsky. I'd read his blog on and off over the years - he was one of the first people I found who agreed with my fundamental dislike of the "let's re-write it" approach. The book (a collection of his columns) was a good read; occasionally Windows/thick client centric, but usually broadly applicable. If you've never read his rants, wander over to his site and sample a column or two.
