One of my favorites is "The Elements of Networking Style" by M.A. Padlipsky. The description starts off as "The World's Only Known Constructively Snotty Computer Science Book..."
My copy (acquired sometime in the early 90's) was recommended by someone on a mailing list or perhaps even comp.dcom.lans or something like that.
Believe it or not, it's back in print. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0132681110/102-5658405-7869729... I've never met Pad in person, but if you've read his papers and Elements of Networking Style, it'll come as no surprise that a close friend of mine who worked with him at MITRE describes him as "a fascinating character". ;) ---Rob
