Here are my favorite IT and IT related books, mostly geared towards Software Developers and Architects:
One author who I enjoyed reading almost evdery book, hence I could not pick a dedicated one from him, is Gerald M. Weinberg. You may simply try one of his books, e.g. start with "Becoming a Technical Leader", or "The Psychology of Computer Programming"
Another great author is Tom DeMarco. Also from him you can pick any of his books and you won't be disappointed. He has great content and is very entertaining and funny at the same time.
I enjoyed reading all of them very much. I'm sure I'm missing many other great IT literature out there. I'm happy to find the ones from you in the comments below.
