His book Clean Code is pretty good. Not in the sense that everything is agreeable in it (though some not so great programmers would benefit themselves and those around them from following it religiously) and a decent chunk of it is covered much more briefly with one chapter of The Practice of Programming but you can actually see the book as the artifact of a reasoning mind taking certain principles and articulating them. It lacks the usual polite qualifiers like "I think..." or "In my opinion..." or "Obviously not in all but in many cases generally speaking..." before every assertion which annoys some people. A fair number of his blog posts are like that too. Where Uncle Bob gets an unfair reputation is when people take things out of context from the larger works and (sometimes willfully) misinterpret them -- he doesn't say you should never ever have comments, for instance. Of course some of it is his own doing from occasional tweets that are by necessity of the medium less well thought out or conveyed.
