Refactoring by Martin Fowler. Extremely practical if you work with old and large code bases.

  "Refactoring" is next on my list, but I started with "UML Distilled", and am currently working on "Design Patterns", partly in preparation for "Refactoring" (and "UML Distilled" was partly in preparation for "Design Patterns").

    Suggestion : Invert the order. :) Read Refactoring first than read Design Patterns(GoF).
