Just to throw in my 2 cents (and you owe me a penny back), some good
references that I have read include:

        Practical Oracle8i - Jonathan Lewis
        Great look at the features of Oracle 8i from high up: not an
incredibly technical book but a refreshing read

        Oracle Performance Tuning Tips & Techniques - Niemiec
        Excellent for tuning suggestions

        Oracle 8i Complete Reference 
        If you write any SQL or PL/SQL procedures, you want this book on
your    desk

Books I have on my desk to read that we're reviewed positively on
Amazon:

        Oracle8i Administration & Management - Ault
        Oracle SQL High Performance Tuning - Harrison

Books I have yet to get that I understand are excellent:

        Oracle8i DBA Tips & Techniques

And a book to stay away from:

        Oracle DBA Handbook
        I have it on my desk and very rarely have I found an answer to
my      question in that book

Hope that helps a little bit....

It kinda depends on your environment, but I like:

Oracle8i DBA Handbook
Oracle Press

Oracle8i Backup and Recovery
Oracle Press

Oracle 24x7 Tips and Techniques
Oracle Press

Oracle Networking 101
Oracle Press

This covers much of the core Oracle DBA stuff.  For some advanced
topics:

Oracle Internal Services: Waits, Latches...
Steve Adams
O'Reilly

Unix for Oracle
Don Burleson
O'Reilly

(Can't remember exact name) Oracle Performance Tuning
Guy Harrison
(Publisher?)

Haven't read book yet, but looks good:
Oracle STATS Pack

Hope that helps

Being a relatively new and often times struggling Oracle DBA I was
wondering
what 3 or 4 books everyone recommends as a must have reference/knowledge
base in day to day support/programming of their databases.
