What Hacker News says
- I don't own it anymore so I cannot really say if it's still relevant today, but maybe Spinellis' Code Reading (and its follow up Code Quality) ?
- I would not say the books of Diomidis Spinellis are timeless or that will change your life as Engineer. But always though they do not deserve the low ratings, and that as an author, he is very unfairly judged. So I am adding these three to this thread.

- Having such a position in Greece right now can lead to bad reputation I think (of course the state of the economy is not his fault) :) Diomidis Spinellis is an alpha geek and a great scientist. He has written great books such as Code Reading, Code Quality and he is also a FreeBSD committer.
- Diomidis Spinellis has written two books (Code Reading and Code Quality) on this subject that take you through annotated examples of industrial strength systems code (mostly from BSD IIRC): http://www.spinellis.gr/codereading/
