I've been reading Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces. I highly recommend the book if you're cool fiddling with C a bit. Actually, scratch that: I recommend the book if you ever write code that runs on a server or any other linux/osx environment, especially if you feel a little out of your depth with C. The code examples are not that intimidating, even if you don't know from typecasting or a pointer (okay, learning the difference between foo, *foo and &foo is useful, but not knowing it doesn't prevent you from getting the gist of the code samples), and getting a deeper understanding of the environment your code works in will make a lot of known unknowns come into a bit more focus. Honest.
