   My candidates are largely fiction, such as _To Say Nothing of the Dog_ (Connie Willis) and _Door Into Summer_ (Heinlein).

   But I do re-read Jerry Weinberg's _Secrets of Consulting_ every so often.

   Let's not forget "The Door into Summer".

   Even more so... Plus "Door into Summer" is unambiguously a good read.

   (Actually though I tell people who like Heinlein that Joe Haldeman set out to out-Heinlein Heinlein and was successful with "The Forever War" and "Worlds")

   The Door into Summer by Heinlein

   Has a kooky invention, lots of great cat stuff, talk of money, founder disputes and sci-fi. 10/10.
