Field guides for birds, trees, flowering plants, fishes (yes, that is the correct plural, Scott), mushrooms (I'm not good enough to venture tasting, however), ferns and fern allies, rocks and minerals, night sky.  A novel or two, maybe current, maybe not.  A good informative read on some issue of current import.  The selection of field guides will vary with the region traveled.
