Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. - Sir Francis Bacon 

This quote was mentioned by Mark Dvoretsky in his book School of Chess Excellence 3: Strategic Play. I have not read all of Dvoretsky's books. But I will probably read them all one day. 

Of what I have read the most important chess books for me are:  

Chess Informant. (The first I bought was number 27.)  
Chess Informant, Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (ECO) All five books (A-E) 
Chess Informant, Encyclopedia of Chess Combinations  
Joel Benjamin, Better Thinking, Better Chess  
C.J.S. Purdy, The Search for Chess Perfection II 
Michael Stean, Simple Chess 
Simon Webb, Chess for Tigers 
Nigel Davies, The Rules of Winning Chess 
Isaac Lipnitsky, Questions of Modern Chess Theory 
Jonathan Tisdall, Improve Your Chess
Garry Kasparov, How Life Imitates Chess
John Nunn, Secrets of Practical Chess 
Romain Edouard, The Chess Manual of Avoidable Mistakes Vol. 1 
Paul Keres & Alexander Kotov, The Art of the Middle Game
Jonathan Rowson, Chess For Zebras
Jeremy Silman, How to Reassess Your Chess  
Lev Alburt, Test and Improve Your Chess 

Jeremy Silman, Silman's Complete Endgame Course 
(The only really bad thing in this endgame book is the silly decision to not include the endgame King, Bishop and Knight vs King. That endgame has to be learned from someone else. Just search at Google and you will find a free lecture.)
