Off the top of my head:

- Soul of a New Machine

- The Cuckoo's Egg

- Revolution in the Valley

- Fire in the Valley

- Compilers by Sethi, Ullman, Aho

- Masters of Doom

- iWoz

- Steve Jobs & the NeXT Big Thing

- Crypto

- Code

- The Man Who Loved Only Numbers

- The Man Who Knew Infinity

- ANSI Common LISP

Most of the books above are recommended because once reading them you will have an uncontrollable urge to immediately create something brilliant. You will not be able to stop yourself.
