classic books are "The C Programming Language", and more prominently,
"The Unix Programming Evironment". The biggest impact on me though
probably had reading some bloated GNU software code and finding out how
simple it was to implement an equivalent solution without bloat.
You can always read about an experience, but nothing replaces the
experience itself.
With best regards
