To _take with me_ probably rules out fiction for me. Instead, I'd go for classics that inspire: _Meditations_ (Aurelius), _Essays_ (Montaigne). And of course, always keep a copy of _The Art of Fermentation_ by Sander Katz and _Bread_ by Jeffrey Hamelman, my personal bread baking bible. Perhaps also _Drawing at the Right Side of the Brain_ by Betty Edwards in case one gets bored. 

In any case, avoid all books on programming or computer science---they only drag you down!
