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?

I doubt he is, I know the kind you're talking about.
Completely different kettle of fish.

Nevertheless, nobody enjoys reading shitty diatribes- and what's more, nobody learns anything from them either.

It would be naive at best to think that people listen and take on board harsh criticism on the internet.

which probably counts for this as well.
Put it this way, you're wasting your time on people you think aren't worth your time.
