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've often heard Clean Code by Robert C. Martin mentioned hand-in-hand with Pragmatic Programmer. Might be worth a look?

audiobooks

No, but:

well regarded general programming books

Yes.

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.
