Answer 3

1. CLR Via C# - 3rd Edition - All time fav for C# advanced topics and internals

2. Jon Skeets C# In Depth is also a good book on C#

3. Inside WCF - I really liked this book

Answer 4

For WCF, those are the two books I can heartily recommend: the one I always recommend to get up and running in WCF quickly is Learning WCF by Michele Leroux Bustamante. She covers all the necessary topics, and in a very understandable and approachable way. This will teach you everything - basics, intermediate topics, security, transaction control and so forth - that you need to know to write high quality, useful WCF services.

The more advanced topics and more in-depth look at WCF will be covered by Programming WCF Services by Juval Lowy. He really dives into all technical details and topics and presents "the bible" for WCF programming. He just recently completed a third edition, which covers WCF in .NET 4 and AppFabric and the Azure Service Bus, too.
