Trying to confine myself to books I haven't seen others mention:
"Guns, Votes, and Democracy" is a wonderful book about democracy in the third world and is both insightful and surprisingly readable.
"The Retreat to Commitment" is the only philosophy book I'd actually recommend.
"The Design of Everyday Things" is a book for anyone who makes or uses things.
"The Transparent Society" is a thought provoking book on the future of privacy.
"The Mystery of Capital" is a book on the importance of non-corrupt government in successful capitalism, a good point of view to have in addition to Rand.
"The Strategy of Conflict" on how to use game theory in the real world, and negotiations especially.
