This is indeed essential reading if you use tasking - and important and
interesting reading, even if you don't.

I also second the recommendation for Cohen's book, which is my current
favorite (I'll just add that someone told me that it is too dense. I,
however, don't think so myself).

What we don't realy have is a "techniques" book - and this is something
important. I suggest reading Heaney's pattern work (avialable online), hand
in hand with the GoF pattern book.
Trying to follow and extend the examples in the Rationale can also be
rewarding.

Do you have specific areas of interest?
