Have you read "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd Edition or Special Edition, by Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator
of C++)?

Stroustrup.

I'd like to add Scott Meyers' "Effective C++" to the list. I have the
3rd edition and can recommend it.

Cheers!

Assuming, of course, you're already familiar with the work of Nicolai
Josuttis. I would also add Dave Abrahams to the list, on the strength
of C++ Template Metaprogramming. In addition to books, I also would
recommend academic papers, many of which are freely available on line;
cf articles by Todd Veldhuizen.

I agree with the recommendations made so far, and would add Stephen
Dewhurst's "C++ Gotchas" (except for the weird switch statement at the end
of item 7)

Except maybe for Stroustrup, I'd put Scott Meyers and
Vandevoorde and Josuttis before the above. Another book I've
found very useful is Barton and Nackman. It's a bit dated
today, but still worth reading.
