I'll add my current three,

    1) "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
    2) "The War of Art" 
    3) "The Pragmatic Programmer"

Can you explain what you liked about The War of Art? I read it because I have seen it mentioned on this site many times, but I did not enjoy it at all. I found that the first two sections contained very little useful information, and the third got somewhat silly when it started evoking angels and muses. I could see it being a motivational read for some?

I find it strange that it's mentioned in the same context as your #1 and #3, which I think are absolutely essential.
