Programming/development Books

So here's the deal. I dropped out of university... a few times... and have fallen back upon writing software for a living. I'm very conscious of the fact that having never studied it at college I am probably not following best practices etc.

I work mainly in C# but would like to expand my knowledge and study properly on my own. Anyone suggest any good texts for me?

tl/dr: Good programming books for students?

If I parsed your query correctly:

or(caused(cry-wanked-in-moms-undies(me), hate-world(me)), caused(just-a-cunt(me), hate-world(me)))

I don't hate the world, so there is no cause for a condition that is I am not in. In case you were wondering, I have never cried while masturbating while wearing my mother's underwear. I cannot say that I am not a cunt, just that I don't consider myself to be a cunt. However other people are free to judge me to be a cunt for whatever reason, and I will have no ability to change their conclusions that they themselves have decided to reach.

reading books is how you acquire knowledge of concepts written by prior generations of humanity. You can rebuild their work from scratch if you are brilliant, but if you want to maximize your productivity within your short lifetime, you will start your work near to the top of the stack they have produced.
