Growing Object Oriented Software, Guided by Tests by Steve Freeman and Natt Pryce. It taught me an awful lot of lessons about object oriented design and London-school TDD. It was published back in 2009 and things have moved on a bit since then but it's still worth reading if you want to understand that style of development. Reading this book changed the way that I write software, very much for the better.
