One of the things that helped me know what I know was my passion for books and my curiosity to learn new things. I think that every programmer that cares about the future should read, at least, one technical book every year. It is part of our jobs to keep informed about new technologies and to learn as many subjects as we need to carry on our projects.

Good examples, I also think developers are reading more "Learn yourself..." crap and forgetting true reference books as Code Complete".
I like the writting style on the blog, it seems to me that I'm listening to a jobmate that always gives us some nice advices.
Good job!

Those are not really 'technical' books. IMO, one should read theoretical books.

Yes you're right, I included technical and theoretical in the same pack. As an example, can you see "The Pragmatic Programmer" in the list?

But don't read just technical books. Then you become a bore.
