Help! What should I read next?

I need some help here. I’m considering a couple of books to read after finally finishing Object Thinking (review in process). Which of the following books should I read next?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Ahem, why don't you try your hand at writing a book next :)

Writing? What would I write about? The only things I can think about writing would be either ASP.NET or TDD.

I am trying to publish a few magazine articles, but so far have been unsuccessful. :(

How about a book about Refactoring?
Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code is a good start.

Rui - I've read that, but it's been a while (and I was a much more immature developer!). I could reread that.

How about this one:

I would read Agile Project Management by Jim Highsmith. I really feel that Jim has written the a definitive book on the subject.

That's a ringing endorsement! Thanks James.

I have a hunch that you're already in the local B&N standing with APM in your hand, but I'd still like to echo Jim's appraisal. I'm currently half-way through it and it certainly spurs some serious thinking and a lot of nodding.

That's two for APM so far!

What is your goal? What do you want to learn?

I just needed help picking one of my next books. All are part of what I want to learn eventually.
