I suppose that I'm way too geekish, but these are my favorite reference books that I use almost daily.
The C++ Standard Library by Josuttis [ISBN 0-201-37926-0] Windows Internals by Mark Russinovich and David Solomon [ISBN 0735619174] Windows Server 2003 Bible, R2 and SP1 Edition by Shapiro and Boyce [ISBN 0471754803]
I also love my K&R textbook. I agree that a lot of it is dated, but they are truly legends and no library of technical books is without them (IMHO).
