Neil Mcdonald's Chess Secrets: The Giants of Strategy is a great book on strategy and middle game.

If you've never been to Coach Heisman's site (danheisman.com), you should probably check it out.  He has book lists divided by both level and type of book.

Check Mark Dvoretsky's 5-volumes work on chess strategy and his endgame manual.

If you look for high-level instruction, you can try Dvoretsky, or Aagaard's Grandmaster Preparation serie.

1. Art of Attack in Chess by Vukovic  (Attacking Themes)
2. Pawn Structure Chess by Soltis (Pawn structures - very important IMO)
3. Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy by Watson (General Strategy)
4. How to Reassess your Chess by Silman (Imbalances)
5. Zurich International Chess Tournament by Bronstein (Game collection)

I picked #5 because it's a classic but you may not like how old it is. If that's the case than a good idea would be to replace it with a collection of your favorite player's games.

@hicetnunc: I am currently reading the Grandmaster Preperation series, the series is great.

@New_Member24: Thanks for the suggestions.

That's a good list by New_Member24.  I would maybe add The Road To Chess Improvement by Alex Yermolinsky and Intructive Modern Chess Masterpieces by Igor Stohl as well.
