Whats on your CCIE reading list?

So I know there are these lists around already, but I just wondering if there are a couple books some people feel are must haves. Or maybe "don't needs'?

Ill start with "BGP design and implementation". Great reading on BGP, which I always stuggle with, and seems to have some good real world applications, and maybe some CCDP help.

OSPF command guide is nice. Just straight up practical examples and configs. Paper backs fit on the self wierd though :S

And of course, the 'routing TCP/IP' volumes, but those are a given.

And when I need to have a quick explaination, google site:cisco.com is always a friend!

Interestingly enough, I'm reading BGP Design/Implementation right now as a part of my CCIP studies. It's a great book and you can find me recommending it throughout these forums. I enjoy Doyle's OSPF and ISIS For Large Internetworks book for the OSPF stuff. I enjoy Doyle's writing style and his OSPF coverage is very concise.

I've also used all of my CCNP resources throughout my written prep.

Here's an idea:

Those were Harry Potter books, but I'm sure yours would work just as well...
