Startup Book Reading List

So with this new SaaS startup I'm working on, I've been reading a bunch of books, and I plan on reading a bunch more. Even started an event with the local startup group here in town called "ReadUp" where we will read one book per month and discuss it.

Let me know if I should add any to my list by leaving a note down in the comments.

In no particular order, here's my list of must-read startup books, and if I find the time I'll add a review after I'm done with it.
