I am pretty good at programming, but I have no idea how to write pretty code. I've never really worked on collaborative projects so I have never needed to learn it. This book seems to be exactly what I need, and I think I will learn a ton of interesting stuff from it. From now on my code's WTFs/minute (measurement of code cleanliness, according to book) will be steadily decreasing!

Thank You very much, Secret Santa! I'd say your stalking skills are more than adequate. :)
