Here are some of my favorite books:

The E-Myth - I'm sorry but this is a GREAT book. It really teaches you to build a BUSINESS not enslave yourself to employees.

Getting Things Done - Everyone's favorite

SourceControl - it's actually a pretty decent guide on outsourcing. Will point you in the right direction at least!

The Robert Collier Letter book - Written what, 70 years ago? READ IT!

Breakthrough Advertising - From the 60's

Four Hour Work Week - By the master of self promotion Tim Ferriss. Good Book though

Tony Buzan - The Mind Map book

Idea Mapping - Jamie Nast (She explains it really nicely)

Made to Stick and Duct Tape Marketing - tons of tips to promote your own business.

Tribes!!!! Permission Marketing and All Marketers are Liars by Seth Godin. Also, read his blog RELIGIOUSLY!

The Obvious Expert - Eldridge - How to position yourself in the market place in other words How to get street cred

Trump University Entrepreneurship 101 by Michael Gordon

Jump Start your brain and Jump Start your business brain by Doug Hall - He also has a great podcast online IF you can still find it. Brain Brew radio... wish he would have continued with that show
 
I just finished reading the 4hr work week by tim ferriss. Its kind of interesting but most of it I already knew. Good read though.

I say pick up autobiographies of successful man.
My favs.
Benjamin Franklin.
Dave Thomas - Wendys founder, very good businessman.
Sam Walton - Made in America is the book, how ironic. Couldn't put it down.
Ray Kroc - Grinding it out - Guy is genius marketer.

Its one thing to read motivational speakers (not that I dont like to). But another to get inside a someones head, hows actually done it.
 
E-myth. Great easy read that puts business in perspective and should change the way you view owning a business.
 
The Four Hour Work Week is a great book to read. It introduces alot of concepts which brought me into IM.

That said, the techniques are pretty saturated and pointless, but the methods can still be twisted with not much effort to make cash.

A pretty good book, and well worth my torren-- I mean fee
