Mythical Man-Month is indeed required and a good read, but Peopleware
elicited just as much vocal agreement from me, if not more!
BTW -- Mythical Man Month has a 20th anniversary update that is worth
buying even if you own the original. It has 4 new chapters at the end,
including the famous "no silver bullet" paper and a following chapter
discussing the critical response to that paper.
Peopleware is supposed to have a 10th anniversary edition coming out.
I have yet to see it in Borders, though.
