I'm no where near 60 and my wife thinks I buy too many computer books. I'll have to check out some of the authors you listed. I've always found there is quite a bit of overlap with a lot of programming books but each one seems to have a few good sections
that others don't so I end up buying more.

I would guess about 60 or 70 (including three I wrote myself, but don't worry, I'm not going to recommend them).
There are probably a half a dozen or so essential ones, but as a general rule, buy anything by
Fritz Onion (on ASP.NET - superb coverage of all the meaty bits of ASP.NET)
Chris Sells (on Windows Forms/WPF - simply awesome)
Adam Nathan (on Interop/WPF - again, very thorough coverage)
Jeff Prosise (one of the best technical authors and speakers on the planet)
Jeff Richter (really good coverage of "boring" stuff like collections, delegates, threads, etc.)
John Robbins (on debugging)
Brian Noyes (if you're into data binding)
Juval Lowy (on components)
