My current pile is somewhat small, as I’ve just culled it and also started to use my eReader more, but it currently is:

  • The Gunslinger by Stephen King
  • A few Wheel of Time books
  • Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
  • The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington
  • The Anatomy of a Story by John Truby

Definitely read The Anatomy of Story if you’re a writer/interested in writing as a craft. It is by far the best guide on plot structure I have ever read and even though it focuses mainly on Hollywood plots it can be adapted to any story form. I use it as a starting point for everything I write, highly recommend it!
