Any recommended books to read before starting in two weeks?

Just wondering if anyone has read anything on the graduate school/TA experience that they think would be a good primer for someone to check out before starting their program.

I'll add on a few I didnt see in the other thread:

For those in lab sciences,The Lab Navigator

Why not read something light/fun?

Two more weeks and then the grind is on! I've got a two week break after work ends and school begins. I plan to do a lot of nothing to "get it out of my system."
