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?

Check this out, OP.

It lists books and topics that are commonly studied in CS.

There are some things on there which are taught in school, but more or less useless in industry, so don't kill yourself trying to read every book on there (like - if you know you aren't working with graphics, don't bother reading the material.(

Use your best judgement.

Good luck
