I'm legitimately curious what books you'd recommend as tech reading? I'm sure it's out there, but outside of reference docs/books, I'm not sure I've really read much of any books that were directly relevant to my job from a technical perspective.

I've read plenty of articles/post-mortems, watched tech-talks, and read docs for new tools and languages, but I've had job applications specifically ask about the last technical book I've read and I've never known what they thought I should have been reading...

Talking to a friend recently I realized the last book-book I read was Developer Hegemony, which heavily subscribes (as do I) to Rao's concept of the corporation as an entity pathological by nature...maybe not the best thing to allude to in a job interview.
