Hello,
Following the advice of Lew and others I have read Effective Java by J.
Bloch. I think this is the best Java book I have ever read. Pragmatic,
straight to the point best practices for Java with clear and *short*
explanations and real-world examples. It fitted my knowledge level
perfectly. Also it made some design patterns which were unclear in my
head, straightforward.

Can anybody recommend other good books of the same style? Ie. best
practices to build reusable code with modern java examples?

Thanks Phil
