What are some must read aviation books that every line pilot should read? Don't say the FAR/AIM.

Right now, I am planning on starting with union focused books, then going to autobiographical books:

Flying the Line volume 1 and 2.

The Airline Pilots: A Study in Elite Unionization,

Hard Landing: The Epic Contest for Power and Profits That Plunged the Airlines into Chaos

Fate is the Hunter

Foverer Flyying

I am open to anything, what would you recommend?
 
I have read FTL volume 1 and 2 and Hard Landing. IMO Hard Landing was the most interesting. I do recommend FTL, volume 1 is a more interesting read than volume 2.
 
Ernest Gann books in general are good. Not all are 'must reads', but they are good after you finish your original list and have time.
