Discussion between CodeHobo and myself made me decide to start a Recommended Reading thread. I'll begin with the books I have found most useful for my pursuits in ASP.Net MVC in particular, and programming in general. In no particular order:
Pro ASP.Net MVC by Steve Sanderson -- hands down the *best* MVC book on the market today (sorry, Scott et. al!)
Programming LINQ by Microsoft Press -- great primer on all things LINQ. Only touches on EF, but coverage is excellent on LINQ to Objects, XML, and SQL
Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans -- Seminal work. A must-read. Examples are in Java, and it predates technologies like LINQ, but the core is brilliant work.
Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET by Jimmy Nilsson -- I actually read this one before I read Evans, but found it excellent. This one is a bit "closer to the metal", which I like, lots of practical examples of applying TDD and design patterns and so on. Read Evans first, though, you'll understand the core concepts better.
There's more, but that's the top of my reading list for now.
