I've started reading Object Design (Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations and it really wet my appetite for more reading about the subject.

Can you guys share your reading preferences about this subject?

The first 100 pages in "Design Patterns" (Gang of four).

I'm reading "Head First Design Patterns" which is recommended by Gamma (of the original GOF). Examples are in Java but I highly recommend it as a primer to objects and patterns.

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python

Fairly good book, in spite of the title. Free (download) too:

Is for a first knowledge of objects, not for patterns.

I started reading Foundations of Object-Oriented Programming Using .NET 2.0 Patterns and so far I really like it http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10019.

If you want really Generic stuff... anything by Ambler.

The Object Primer and Object Applications That Work.

Also look at Object Thinking by David West.

While Frans design patterns suggestion is good, it is also very abstract. For an excellent practicle book in implementing the patterns Head First Design Patterns is excellent. The sample code is in Java, but if you can read and understand C# you can follow the code and implement most of it in C# with minor syntax changes.
