There's a book called "Light: Science and Magic" that I really like, really useful as it explains the behaviour of light and why we get the results we do.
Also, "The Moment it Clicks" is a good all-around tips and tricks book by Joe McNally and, while I don't own this one, "The Hot Shoe Diaries" is filled with strobist techniques.
Hope this helps,

Anything by Bryan Peterson is excellent. He has a very good writing style, and always includes detailed information on each picture to show how he did it. His main books are "Understanding Exposure" (a new edition is just out), "Understanding Shutter Speed", and "Understanding Close-up Photography". He's an incredibly creative photographer... it's worth reading his books just for the ideas they can generate.

Anything by Ansel Adams. Even though (or perhaps particularly since) it is not digital, and only black and white. Great inspiration and true art.
