OT: best book in years

[Patrick Useldinger]

Hi All,

I am going to stay in hospital for a week or so (nothing serious), and am 
trying to find a book or two to read there. As I have not come across 
anything spectacular recently (except Python in a Nutshell), I would like 
to know what *you* consider to be the best book you have read in the last 
few years, about Python or IT in general.
