Some good reading to get exposed to some history and culture as well as some high-level discussion of programming is "The Art of UNIX Programming" by Eric S. Raymond 2004 Addison Wesley ISBN 0-13-142901-9; ESR tends to be a Linux guy but you wouldn't know it from this book. He includes a fair number of small-paragraph quotes from some UNIX pioneers. There's more "whys" in the book than "hows". And cheap by today's standards at 40 USD. 525p.
