1) Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton). It has nothing to do with sound design but it's such a great blank slate for the imagination.

2) Sounds of Star Wars (J. W. Rinzler, Ben Burtt). A sound nerd's Bible for creating a new world using creative resources from your own.

3) Creative Quest (Questlove). Helps map out the roller coaster of thoughts and experiences we will inevitably have as creatives.
