I just finished "So Good They Can't Ignore You" and "Little Bets", both of which were great.

Another vote for E-Myth Revisited. I went in with fairly low expectations (since most business books tend to disappoint, in my experience) and came out with some fresh perspectives on building businesses.

The Founder's Dilemmas by Noam Wasserman. A very good read and you can get it on Amazon.

I recently read Creativity, Inc. By Ed Catmull. I enjoyed the book because of the stories behind Pixar's growth and importance of candor in their culture.
