Pragmatic Programmer - any recommendations for similar? (self.programming)

I'm currently listening to the Pragmatic Programmer 20th anniversary edition audiobook, and thoroughly enjoying it. I was skeptical about listening to a technical ebook, but they've pulled it off perfectly.

Could anyone recommend any similarly well regarded general programming books or audiobooks?

I'm a huge fan of that book personally as well, I always recommend it to people just starting out as software engineers.

Usually in the same sentence, I also recommend two other books:

Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug - it's about designing UX, and the concepts it introduce really apply to everything, including things like API design. Amazing book.
Peopleware by Tom DeMarco - another great book about the human side of software projects.
