I tend to skip language, tooling, or library specific book unless I'm working on a project or are curious about the subject (hoping to discover some valuable nuggets). So the book I tend to read cover to cover are more about methodologies, concept, philosophies, and best practices. I like DDIA especially as I was always more focused on the computing logic side of software, not much about infrastructure. It has good explanations about things that I have heard about, but never had the chance to explore more.
