some that haven't been mentioned:

- the innovator's dilemma by clayton christensen

- blue ocean strategy (kim and mauborgne) -- these two books give you a little bit more of a framework to evaluate where your idea adds value and give you examples of how/why some successful companies have been successful

- high tech startup by nesheim -- a little dated, but lots of info

- negotiation/people books: getting to yes (fisher, ury) and getting past no (ury), influence by cialdini (useful for more than just startups)

- maybe some management books: peopleware (demarco and lister), the art of project management (berkun), first, break all the rules (buckingham)

- founders at work (livingston) to get inspired

+1 to crossing the chasm, and the godin & gladwell books, art of the start

blogs: onstartups.com, fred wilson, brad feld, seth godin, etc., guy kawasaki
