Hi. This must be one of the most asked question in CS, but bear with me for a second.

I need a C++ book, and the amount of possible reference makes it hard to make a good choice.

Ideally, this book doesn't start from the very beginning (e.g. "There are many types : int, float, ...), and explains the many subtlety, best practices and traps of modern C++.

I learned Java in school, and used Python a lot for work and side projects. I've used a bit of C++ throughout school and for particular projects requiring specific libraries, but do not have extensive knowledge of it (up to now, I've refrained from using "new", or any kind of pointer more complicated than an iterator for fear of screwing things up ... yeah, I know). Obviously, this is not enough, and I would like to go further.

Any Ideas ?

Over the summer, I've read several great books including "The Lean Startup", "Thinking, fast and slow", as well as design and marketing books.

During the next year, i'll try to follow up with a "challenge" : A book per week. Above all, I want to learn stuff concerning startups, computer science, design and marketing, but I'm willing to read just about anything as long as i'll learn something.

I've found several great lists, and started to cross-compile them for the best references. However, I felt like asking might yield interesting results.

So, what are, in your mind, the best books any aspiring entrepreneur should read ?
