The Art of Readable Code is excellent.

I respectfully fully disagree with recommending The Art of Readable Code. Particularly, I take issue with the advice on comments, as well as the strange point that sometimes 'goto' is acceptable.

While there are some good sections on things like naming variables and "code aesthics" that kind of advice is not going to dramatically improve your code quality and I think most developers achieve better results with something like Clean Code or Code Complete.
