For those in the Windows world I recommend reading:

If I had known about the existence of these two books (or rather, their earlier editions) a decade ago, I would have been well on my way to being a better Windows programmer. These two are MUST READS for win32 programming (if you don't want to use .NET framework or other abstraction layers.)

Windows Internals, by Russinovich and Solomon

Windows via C/C++, by Richter and Nasarre

Again, if you want to do non-.NET Windows programming, these books are pure gold. (The older books by Charles Petzold are kind of getting out of date, but were good too.) Also, check out Raymond Chen's blog The Old New Thing for tons of cool bits of Windows dev history

EDIT: Also a must read: Advanced Windows Debugging this is a must if you want to learn how to properly debug "unmanaged" (i.e. non-.NET) applications. Also a pretty good intro to reverse engineering or cracking apps on Windows.
