These Robert C. Martin and Gang of Four books are very fundamental OOP resources for every software engineer.
- Coding Perfection
These Steve McConnell, Robert C. Martin and Joshua Bloch books are very helpful with increasing your coding skills.
- Refactoring and Patterns
Refactoring and
patterns are very important issues of OOP, which brings quality and
maintainability. These Martin Fowler and Joshua Kerievsky books are
maybe the best references about this issue.
- Pragmatic Programming
Andrew Hunt's and David Thomas's "pragmatic" approach to programming brings very important viewpoints to software engineering.
- Project Management
There are many
project management books in the market but Frederick P. Brooks Jr. and
Tom DeMarco presents very impressive important viewpoints to project
management.

Got one of each section. Would add "Exploring Requirement" by Gause and Weinberg. Old, still true.
