I couldn't think of a better topic title.
We all come from different walks of life; different interests and hobbies, different career paths, and different points of view.
ITT, we provide links to printed resources that might lead and/or help others. So, think about your interests, whatever they maybe and recommend reading from the subjects.
Lets try to keep the material purely informational. Unless you think there is something that can't be found in any other book but might be useful in real life, avoid fiction writings. Also the more practical and understandable the info, the better. Example: a 500 page publication about the function and development of the maxillary third molar of humans from 12000 BC to present age doesn't help the laymen very much. A good starter book on introduction to quantum physics might. In the end, use your best judgement.
Kinda like "the knowledge thread" from IFIOTW but in book form.
Also, try to provide links to publishers if you think the book might be hard to find at a book store.
I'll start.

Starting Strength (Rippetoe/Kilgore)
* http://www.aasgaardco.com/store/store.php?crn=199&rn=312&action=show_detail
* Bar-none, the best book for beginners strength training. Has excellent descriptions for the squat, bench press, deadlift, press, and power clean along with detailed info on various assistance exercises.
SAS Survival Guide (John Wiseman)
* A good sized thread about it here. (https://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2157872)
* A ToC here. (https://www.totse.com/community/showpost.php?p=10454540&postcount=8)
Vagabonding (Rolf Potts)
* http://www.vagabonding.net/
* Awesome guide for long-term, quit-your-job, leave-the-past kind of travel. My initial motivation to start planning a round-the-world trip.
The Goldilocks Enigma: Why is the Universe Just Right for Life (Paul Davies)
* Originally published in hardcover as The Cosmic Jackpot.
* This one I just started reading yesterday.
* Basically a run down and questioning of such a "fine-tuned" universe with a little bit of philosophy thrown in.
