Doyle Brunson's Super System and Super System 2. By far the two most influential books I've ever about poker strategy.

Two:
Championship Omaha by TJ Cloutier and Tom McEvoy. There are very few good Omaha books out there and this one is the best by far. (I've read at least half-a-dozen Omaha books.) Great anecdotes and very solid and simply presented strategic information. I don't think there's a single chart in the book. Omaha Hi Lo is the only form of poker I'm really good at and this book vastly improved my game.

Killer Poker by John Vorhaus. Instead of presenting anecdotes about how the author plays or showing positional situations, this book more than any other really makes you examine and analyze your own playing style and forces you to look seriously at the flaws in your game.

Okay, one more: Hold 'Em Excellence by Lou Kreiger. Not the best poker book at all but the starting hand chart is probably the best help guide for newer players that I've ever seen. It's very smartly laid out and easy to grasp. The chart is worth the price of the book by itself.

By far - "No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice", by David Sklansky. (Amazon link below.)

Harrington on Hold em, Vol 2.

Of course, I haven't read a whole lot of them.
