The book on refactoring may have been "Refactoring" as suggested by
Robert. But, I might also have mentioned
http://www.amazon.com/Working-Effectively-Legacy-Michael-Feathers/dp/0131177052

If you don't have "Code Complete" by McConnell, any edition is well
worth it.

Honestly, you'd need to narrow down the area of programming you want
books about. I've got a couple hundred in easy reach, ranging from
language-specific to Cryptography, and from beginner to advanced.

What are you looking for?
