"Eine Million Oder ein Jahr"...German for "A Million or a Year." The English version of this book is titled, "IT's Hidden Face: Everything you always wanted to know about Information Technology. A look behind the scenes."
I stumbled across this book at Amazon and was blown away that a CIO from a bank in Luxembourg could so clearly explain what really happens in my chosen career field. Take for example a quote from a U.S. IT manager who read the book, "This one books covers practically every issue I have faced in my 30 plus years working in IT."
While the book is must reading for everyone in IT, it should be required reading for all C-Level executives and probably End Users as well. It might not be a bad idea for your significant other to read too so he or she can get an idea what you have to deal with everyday. This books strips away the myths and misconceptions of what goes on "behind the curtain" and explains in detail the challenges people in IT have to face each day.
