I'm planning on developing my C# and .NET programming skills for this summer and was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on which programming books to get. Programming books with a lot of code examples and exercises seem to have worked out well for me in the past.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Andrew Troelson is pretty good too.

I don't know if you're interested in WPF, but this is also good:

Amazon reviews tell it like it is!

Programming "cookbooks" are a great place to start:
