C++ - "A tour of C++" http://www.amazon.com/Tour-C--Depth/dp/0321958314 I read this book after having programmed C++ with the common "C++ is C with classes" attitude for a while, and it really made me change the way I looked at this language. It was the book that made me realize how beautiful the RAII idiom is, that the STL was clearly not hacked together by a bunch of crazy monkeys, that you rarely need raw pointers…

For C#, the book I always find myself going back to is C# In Depth by Jon Skeet. It's one of the most accessible books I've read, and it's one I always recommend to other devs that are interested in the language. http://csharpindepth.com/

  Jon Skeet is immutable. If something's going to change, it's going to have to be the rest of the universe.
