Book Recommendations to become a better Software Dev /u/anyonehacks CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone , I am looking for guidance from my fellow developers , I am fairly new to the field , I have 2.5 years of experience as a SDE and I am currently switching jobs so I am on notice period and have a bit of a light workload and have some free time in my hands .

I am looking for books which will improve my fundamentals and have a better understanding, not just from an interview point of view but for overall growth . I am looking at books like Designing Data Intensive Applications at the moment . Any other suggestions are welcome . I am more focused on backend side of things.

For interviews I did read up a lot on low and high level design , scalability/availability and few more topics which got me interested to read a few of the white papers but I am not that good to understand it all hence want to get better at fundamentals.

Thanks in advance for all your awesome recommendations !
