Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War (for thoughts on competition)

Managing Gigabytes (if you are doing anything related to search)

Writing Solid Code (especially if you are using C/C++)

Most of the research papers that come out of OSDI/SOSP: Dynamo, BigTable, Sawzall, GFS, Chubby, etc

I second the Boyd suggestion. One of the best books I've ever read.
