Not computer geek library is complete with Donald Knuth's seminal series
on the Art of Programming.   Another one of my all time favorites is
Barb Liskov's "Abstraction and Specification in Software Development" - 
now there's a role model.  "Distributed Systems" edited by Sape
Mullender (Addison-Wesley) has many fascinating papers.

Everyone doing development on distributed systems should read "Building
Secure and Reliable Network Applications" by Ken Birman.  In fact, it is
required reading for every new hire in my group at work.
