I am rated around 1400 online in rapid, and I was just wondering what chess books you would recommend to someone around my rating.

The Jeremy Silman books ("Reassess Your Chess," and "The Beginner's Mind") are geared towards that rating level.

Chess Player's Bible,James Eade,Al Lawrence (Good basics book)

Grandmasters of Chess -Harold C. Schonberg (Chess history book about the best players)

Learn Chess Tactics- John Nunn (tactics)

You could get more advanced book but I found its hard to actually implement the information into my own games

Simple Chess: A great explanation of strategy, making it very easy to understand. You have it on YT as well: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUrgfsyInqNbkyiwPSSBQ6ALkkccKItPE
