One of my goals for 2008 is to read more, and tonight I just finished up book number one: The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.  I really enjoyed this book because it enforces the view that software development is a trade.  Instead of perceiving myself as a blue collar code slave, the book makes me see myself as a craftsman.  The book has a ton of solid advice and I think it's a must read for any software developer.
