This could easily be one of the best computer related books i've ever read. The amazing thing is that is shows with code examples how the language progressed from one version to the next. I've never read anything similar in computer literature. It gave me a deep understanding of the language and all its caveats.
For C#, the book I always find myself going back to is C# In Depth by Jon Skeet. It's one of the most accessible books I've read, and it's one I always recommend to other devs that are interested in the language.
"C# In Depth, 3rd edition" by Jon Skeet. I had been falling behind on the new stuff added to .NET and C# and this is a good way to get back on the curve.
