I must have missed the discussion about Oracle books. If I were to focus on non-oracle books here is what my list would look like: UNIX Secrets : I used this book a good bit when I first started on Unix. Notes in it are still valid from time-to-time The practical SQL Handbook - 4th Edition: cut my teeth on this book. Always good to review from time-to-time. Programming Perl (Camel Book): always a trusty book when stumped on a perl issue. Non-Technical books, it would have to be anything by Patrick Lencioni. Bobby L.
