I've got many of the books others listed, though I don't recall Bob Pease's "Troubleshooting Analog Circuite" mentioned - IMHO, it's as much about design as anything. And unlike so many of his 'porridge' articles, the book is (best as I can remember) quite narrowly focused on the field of electronics.
I'm far from a hotshot designer, but one thing that has given me ideas is paging through collections of schematics (preferably with explanations, but often not needed). Any book titled "Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits" - there appears to be seven volumes with that title from Rudolf F. Graf and/or others, but I only have five of them. I also see an unrelated book with that title.
Many of these schematics are quite simple things you might find from the Radio Shack/Forest Sims "Engineer's Notebooks" (not that there's anything wrong with those things), and heck they may have come from there, but many are from the ED "Design Ideas" section and such as well. But they all give ideas of how to use transistors in various configurations, things I might not have seen before or haven't seen in a long time, and that might be a good fit for some design problem.
Also, "High SPeed Diital Design" because it shows how at some level, digital design is really analog.
