I've looked at What is the single most influential book every programmer should read? to find some books to read. The books are needed for my train trip each day to/from work and having a book on 960 pages is just a bit over kill in my opinion. Therefore i'm looking for an alternative to code complete which is just a bit smaller and maybe something like 2-300 pages.

Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.
