Having read about half the books on Safari (well, almost), I'd highly recommend the following:

  1. Python in a Nutshell
  2. Customer Relationship Management: Getting It Right!
  3. Mastering Algorithms with C
  4. Oracle in a Nutshell
  5. PostgreSQL
  6. MySQL, Second Edition - Paul DuBois
  7. Secure Coding: Principles & Practices
  8. Programming .NET Security (just started this one)
  9. Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++ (just started this one)
  10. Perl 6 Essentials
  11. Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules
  12. Practical mod_perl
  13. Linux Security Cookbook
  14. Practical Unix & Internet Security, 3rd Edition (very highly recommended)
  15. Honeypots: Tracking Hackers
  16. Building Secure Servers with Linux
  17. Writing Information Security Policies
  18. Chris Crawford on Game Design
  19. Java™ Performance Tuning, 2nd Edition
  20. Nanotechnology: A Gentle Introduction to the Next Big Idea
  21. Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell
  22. Running Weblogs with Slash
  23. Testing Extreme Programming

Whew! Keep in mind that's just a very small sample of what's available. The only improvement I would suggest is for O'Reilly to consider adding more science and AI books. Then again, if that happened, I'd never leave my house ;-)

Really what you have to do is just look around for yourself, they have about 1600 high-quality tech & business books, it's hard to recommend ones without knowing exactly what you're interested in. Anyways, hope you find something in that list interesting :)
