One that I am surprised to not see mentioned (here at least as opposed to stackoverflow) is 4 Steps the Epiphany - http://www.amazon.com/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Steven-Blank/dp/0976470705 http://www.amazon.com/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Steven-Blank/dp/09... As a technical founder and general programmer + startup person, I was always told that sitting in my room coding more and more features wouldnt help a startup succeed but this is the first book that both explained exactly why that was true and what I should be doing instead. Its not a "read this and your startup will succeed" by any means, but its the most useful and practical book along those lines I have read.
