I also liked "Into Thin Air" on audio.

there is no better audio book than "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage". The audio version is absolutely gripping; the suspense is incredible

Effective C++ is a valuable book that takes study, so you're off to a good start.

now has what I consider to be a more modern treatment in Sedgewick and Wayne's Algorithms, 4th Ed.

I recommend all of Knuth's publications.

this book nicely rounds out my reference books with clear and easy to understand coverage
