I’ve read a few flyfishing books this winter, Trout Tactics by Joe Humphreys, Fly Rod Trouting by Ed Shenk, Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass by Harry Murray, and Smallmouth Strategies for the Fly Rod by Will Ryan/Chris Armstrong. All were entertaining and informative.
Looking for additional titles to add to my slowly growing library. What does the collective wisdom of FAOL recommend?
Don’t know the others you mentionned, but I like works by David Hughes, … especially Reading the Water.
And they’re on special @Amazon [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811722635/102-4921779-6808936?v=glance:720f5]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811722635/102-4921779-6808936?v=glance[/url:720f5]

For tying books, I go along with fcch’s recommendation on ANY Dave Hughes book. I also like Dick Surette’s Trout and Salmon Fly Index.

There is no greater fan of flyfishing than the worm.
Patrick McManus
Well, given your location, you might be interested in the works of Charlie Fox and Vince Marinaro. Fox’s book, That Wonderful World of Trout, is among my favorites.
Allan
The Longest Silence by Thomas McGuane.
Depends on what you’re looking for. Instructional? Literature? Classic old stuff?
Here are my recommendations:
anything by Ray Bergman.
The River Why
Fishing Bamboo
I’d have to agree with the others that recommend Dave hughes, he’s a talented and informative writer.
i have also enjoyed What the Trout Said by Datus Proper, as well as the definitive Trout by Schweibert (if you can find it, I luckily found a copy online a few years ago). This 2 volume set will last you a few weeks of daily reading time and will cover topics from history of the sport to species of trout, fly selections, knots, and etiquette. A great overall set on flyfishing.
I learned a lot from Prospecting for Trout by Tom Rosenbauer.
There is also a book review section here on FAOL you can check out for other recommendations. If you use the search function you can also find older threads about books people have enjoyed.
Here is a decent list:
The Fly Tier’s Benchside Reference (you have to have this one)
Master The Cast by George Roberts (very clear, well done)
The Curtis Creek Manifesto (you could teach a kid with this one)
Presenting The Fly: A Practical Guide to the Most Important Element of Fly Fishing by Lefty Kreh (this is the best I’ve read, the man is on the stature of J Caswell 
Last I recommend the Orvis Streamside Guides, as the few I’ve read and highlighted were quite good.
I can also make recommendations in Ice Climbing, World Politics, Six Guns, IPSC, and non fiction as I love to read.
Miguel
“The Trout Pool Paradox” by George Black.
I like Fishing The Mountain Lakes by LaFontaine. I think that you could learn something useful from it even though you’re not in the west. Also there are some funny stories in it.
The first book I read about this sport ws Bergman’s “Trout”. Was about the last book I read, too. Still got it. I would much rather re-invent the wheel, flyfishing-wise, than read what everyone else thinks.
Just my $.02

Trout is the most under-rated fly fishing book of all time. Although I guess it really was well thought of when it came out, but it remains ‘the truth’ regardless of age. More than many written since can claim.

How bout the great works of David Leitz?

Berman’s Trout is a must especially Chapter 10, Water Types and How to Fish Them. I think about what Ray observed every time I fish. Other recommendations:
Dry Fly & Fast Water by George LaBranche
Ring of the Rise & Modern Dry Fly Code by Vince Marinaro
This Wonderful World of Trout and Rising Trout by Charles Fox
And when you find your self getting too serious:
A Wedding Gift by John Trainor Foote
Any of Ed Zern’s books that you can get your hands on: To Hell With Fishing, How to Tell Fish From Fishermen, How to Catch Fishermen, Are Fishermen People. IMHO still the funniest books ever written on fly fishing.

“Understanding Trout Behavior” John Goddard & Brian Clarke.
Brilliant Insights in How Trout Act and Why
I look into… my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: ‘Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.’ - Allison Moir.
I wonder if he ever fished Saltwater 
Anything and everything by John Gierach. I’ve not found any of his books to be anything less than wonderful.
All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head
With nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave
Two new books by Ed Engle; Tying Small Flies, and Fishing Small Flies. Also, Mike Lawson’s book, Spring Creeks.

Slow down and savor the moment; it will be over with all too quickly
I believe old Roger Stouff has a book out that’s pretty fair readin’!
(Guess I should clarify that…just in case you haven’t read Roger’s column “Native Waters” on this site.)

There’s alot of great books out there. Some
of my favorites are: Limestone Legends,Terrestrial Fishing/Koch,Nymphs and the Trout/Sawyer,Complete Schwiebert,Rising
Trout/Fox,Fishing the Midge/Koch and Chalkstream Cronicals by Neil Patterson.
Most of these can be found at your local fly shop in Pennsylvania. Enjoy
Geezer,
I concur on “Understanding Trout Behavior”. I also really like the chapter on how to see trout.
