I just got this book and I really like it.  It's got lots of good 
real-world advice about how to make things work.  The distributed 
objects chapter starts out by shooting down a bunch of the garbage that 
vendors always tell you about how great distributed objects are. 
Haven't read much of the O/R mapping section yet, but it seems useful. 
Fowler's essay on interative database development got onto Slashdot on 
Sunday as well.
