Re:Looking for good scuba books
As I look on my shelf realize that I have tons of dive books broken up into different catagoires, manuals that go from nitrox/tirmix blending to DIR-F, shipwreck books of the Great Lakes, freediving books, dive travel books, background information books like "Oxygen and the Diver", plus, books that are just fun to read.

Under my "fun to read" catagory are some that have been mentioned, I really like Deep Decent, and some more to add like:

Beyond The Deep a story about Dr. Bill Sotne trying to use Cis-Lunar rebreahters to crack one of the deepest caves in the world.

Caverns Measureless to Man a sort of autobigraphy of Sheck Exley

Beyond Sport Diving A somewhat dated account of the deep air wreck divers on the East Coast.

Underwater Man A kind of history of Diving science by Dr. Joesph MacInnes.

The Last of the Bluewater Hunters this is a really cool book written by Carlos Eyles. Carlos has written a number of diving books that are all pretty good, bu tthis is my favoirte one of his. Besides talking about the history of spearfishing on the West Coast, it talks about his quest one summer to become a totally self-sufficient spearfisherman. He lives on a boat. spears fish to eat, and spears a few more to trade for potatoes, rice and other things.

I have many others to add to this that are bit more "out there", like Homo Delphinus, but these are the fun ones that any diver would like to read.
