TCP/IP Illustrated by W. Richard Stevens. You can buy it from amazon here or I think most Barnes and Nobles stores have it, I can't recall. It basically paraphrases the RFC for each of the protocols in it, which is VERY useful. Rather than reading 120 pages on TCP and knowing everything about it, you can read 25 pages and have a pretty good understanding of it.

Malware: Fighting Malicious Code by Ed Skoudis
It explains what malware is and how it works (analysis and disection) and practical ways of how to protect yourself from it. The book is geared toward system admins, network admins, and security analysts/etc. It is by no means light in technical detail - it's 600+ pages of good details.

The books in my library... or actually a very large table with computers and books on it. The kinda table that you'd normally see at thanks-giveing and various parties. Anyways laying around on it is:
The Korn Shell
Basic - A problem solving approach (Made in the 80s. Funny "future" codeing concepts & technology)
Unix in a nutshell
C++ primer plus
Learning redhat (If your a *nix noob then this kicks ass...)
essential system administration
introduction to local area networks
troubleshooting & repairing PCs (Yet another classic from the 1980s... it rocks)
VB6 step by step (Don't really use VB books anymore but when you run into problems its nice to have)
VB6 Application Development
Teach yourself VC++6
Some hacking exposed books (get the web application and linux editions... the original hacking exposed is mainly just small introductions to thier other books.)
I am also now collecting a very large assortment of various source code, examples, & tutorials on MASM.

Counter Hack
Hack Proofing Linux
Hack Attacks Testing
Hack Attacks Revealed
Hacking Exposed (Set)
Maximum Linux Security
Honeypots
Hiding in Plain Sight
Hacker's Challenge 1 & 2
Personal Firewalls

There was some duplication in the first part of the list, but the examples varied significantly.
Books on my list to get: Building Secure Servers with Linux, Practical Unix & Internet Security and the Real World Linux Security.

Dont want to seem lame or n00b, but the dummies books provide a nice, basic approach and let you build yourself up to more advanced topics and more expensive books

Anything O'Reily. They are just downright good! Pick a service that you want to learn more about and grab one.
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand,
nor look through the eyes of the dead...You shall listen to all
sides and filter them for your self.
