North Star Over My Shoulder - Bob Buck, one of my favorite reads in a long time. Wow, what a charmed life that guy has lead!

The Greatest Flying Stories Ever Told - This book is a bunch of excerpts from other books. But that let me taste several great flying books and then go buy the ones that I really enjoyed.

The Spirit of Saint Louis - Lindburg, a really well written account of his trip across the atlantic.

Stick and Rudder is a really good one if you're just starting to fly. It explains basic airmanship in ways that many CFI's have trouble putting words to. It uses some dated terms for some items, like calling elevators "flippers," but is still a good read.
