What books/podcasts/videos do you recommend on philosophy?

Can be of any style (introductory or more comprehensive), just would be good to build up a repository on here and see who else is interested in philosophy more generally.

I find The Prince by Machiavelli fascinating, can definitely see how some leaders take his ideas to heart.

For a good look at a topic 98% overlook, check out Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. I'm obviously biased as a vegan, but I find it hard to believe that someone could read and understand just the first chapter (30 or so pages) and not agree with him.
