Nice list. But I'd add Robert Glass's 'Facts And Fallacies Of Software Engineering'. There's a review here: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0018.html

The book contains a lot of good sense, though it's not as focused on coding as 'Code Complete' is.

How about classics such as:

The Art of Computer Programming - http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.html
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html
The Mythical Man-Month - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month
