A book likely to rise to the top of that list is Acemoglu's latest monumental "Introduction to Modern Economic Growth": http://econ-www.mit.edu/faculty/acemoglu/books

I am not an economist but I know how formal models work and I have interest on this topic. Helpman's "the mystery of economic growth" was very helpful for me.
