Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World. Easily the best programming text I've read in the last year, and it's sold me on Erlang.
I haven't done Erlang since 2009, but reading through that book taught me a lot about functional programming theory, state mutation concepts, parallelising code properly and many other things.
While I don't use Erlang, I found this book to be full of very practical and accessible examples.
