Good non-fiction books you are reading?
So what are some of the good non-fiction books are you reading/read before ?
I've just got my copy of Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini, and so far it's sounds really industry.
And if you are in the software industry, then I really recommend reading Joel on Software , which is basically a collection of short articles from www.joelonsoftware.com

The inside story of Soviet Lend Lease espionage.
