One of the most important poker books ever written, The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky delves into the theoretical underpinnings that are important in nearly all forms of poker. It's not a book about Texas Hold'em, Omaha, or Seven Card Stud; instead, it takes examples from many different forms of poker to explain basic theoretical concepts.
Theory of Poker will teach you how to think about poker, and give you the tools you need to really analyze situations properly. For instance, how much is adding deception to your game really worth compared to just playing hands for value? What's the optimal bluffing frequency against your opponents? When is slowplaying appropriate? What information is available to help you read hands?
If you have any designs on being a serious poker player, Theory of Poker is an absolute must-read book. It's available at most bookstores; right now, Amazon has it available for the Kindle at the price of $16.47.
