I suggest Beautiful Architecture from O'Reilly.
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517984/
http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Architecture-Leading-Thinker...
It's similar to Beautiful Code (also mentioned here) with various chapters on different, independent topics: e.g. Facebook's data-centric architecture, Xen hypervisor, etc.
