Greetings,

Ive gotten this question alot lately and thought
people could name their favourite books.

I usually recommend "Linux Device Drivers" by
Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini and
Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Anything else worth telling people?

Robert Love "Linux Kernel Development" 2nd edition is very good.

Robert Loves' "Linux Kernel Development" is my favorite for
getting an overview of kernel and its mechanisms

"Essential Linux Device Drivers" from Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran is a
good book for learning about driver development, though i'd recommend
to read "Linux Kernel Development" or LDD3 first

finally there is "Understanding the Linux Kernel" by Daniel P. Bovet
and Marco Cesati, an in-depth view of the kernel core code

Not very well-known yet because very recent, _Professional Linux Kernel
Architecture_ by Wolfgang Mauerer (Wrox) seems very promising after
a few hours of browsing throught it.
