I am surprised that nobody mentioned Hal Roth, a superb set of books.
If you want to build on the Northern magic type book I recommend Rosie Darling by Rosie Swales, Ice blink by David and JaJa Martin.

Passage to Juneau by Johathan Raban is enthralling. Miles Smeeton will scare you rigid with his gungho attitude to sailing. The Pardeys can be a little boring but its hard to beat the amount of real and valuable advice that they contain.

I also enjoyed Miles Hordern's book on the pacific(can't remember the title), Moitessier has a permenant place on board my boat as does Annie Hill's 'sailing on a small income'.

I envy you discovering all these great books for the first time!
