#2An Inquiry Into The Nature And Causes of The Wealth of Nations. Adam Smith 1776

#3I'd actually recommend avoiding The Lean Startup if you read anything at all and have been paying attention to blogs and the news. It doesn't say anything you haven't already heard, and is kind of high level (or "hand wavy" if you want to be harsher).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_startup contains most of what you need to know.

Moreover, with a few exceptions, many modern entrepreneurship books simply assimilate and tune content that the authors have already presented online.

I read HN daily and I found the Lean Startup a good book, much better than the "patchwork quilt" of advice you get online.

#9I'd say reading a book on interpersonal relationships is better, then sales, then finance/accounting, THEN some entrepreneurial startup books.
1. How to win friends and influence people
2. 7 habits
3. Any good sales book (I liked http://www.amazon.com/10-Steps-Sales-Success-Shorten/dp/0814... )
http://www.amazon.com/Successful-Cold-Call-Selling-Examples/...
4. Accounting for dummies or something like that, same with finance (I have a degree in Finance, was much more helpful than I realized)
5. One or so of these books (Parent listing).
Most people don't realize every job involves selling. Relationships and communicating effectively along with having good understanding over the whole business is helpful. If you don't think any of the sales stuff applies to you, I wish you good luck :-)
