We are legion (We are Bob) - Finally broke down and listened to all the praise. It wasn't misspent. What fun!
The Emotional Craft of Fiction - Can never have enough writing advice
The Pragmatic Programmer (20th anniversary) - Again, relenting to the pressure to read classics

Donald Maass - The Emotional Craft of Fiction
William Gibson - Idoru
Dean Koontz - Strangers
Dean Koontz - Watchers
James Scott Bell - How to Write Best-Selling Fiction
Yudhanjaya Wijeratne - The Salvage Crew (fn FANTASTIC!)
Then a classic like:
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
While a bit over-produced, this one was fantastic. Shame they didn't do the whole series.
Neil Gaiman - The Sandman
Rob Grant - Red Dwarf
Steven Pressfield - Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t
An Audible membership, I think, is totally worth it. Sure, audio books are available at libraries. But one must wait and wait.
