Ask HN: Good Programming/Tech Books To Read?

What books would you recommend I read over the summer? - Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Obje... - Effective C++: http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Specific-Improve-Programs-De... For Java development I would recommend 'Effective Java'.
