I'm afraid that general texts aren't coming to my mind but now you have
me thinking about advanced texts for specific languages so I'll hijack
this subthread to ask about those. For instance, Paul Graham's "On Lisp"
is great and I am astonished that it remains out of print. Or, Joshua
Bloch's "Effective Java" is excellent stuff too. I wonder what other
such books exist for other programming languages, helping one transition
from competency to excellence.
