Below are a couple of more recent suggestions...
Renaissance Periodization has some great books on both training and nutrition.
Greg Nuckols and Omar Isuf's The Art of Lifting and The Science of Lifting are good.
Eric Helm's Muscle and Strength Pyramid books are good too.

I don't even lift
No but seriously I've been lifting for about 6 years, I think. But I'm nothing special. For me it's more about the theoretical side of things - Actually training is just because I get motivated to try stuff out.
The books are suggested to you are great and comprehensive. When you're done with those, you'll want to look into textbooks on periodization and such.
You could consider The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzenegger
literally the only useful books related to bodybuilding and fitness are books about chemistry and steroids. nothing else contains info that is proven.

Your mind hungers, just like your body.
The problem with most of these books is they're half opinions and anecdotal evidence, which may not be bad, but also might not be that helpful. You're better off searching through a database of research articles for something you may want to know and reading that, but even then a lot of the research you may not find as the experiments might have flaws.
I think learning about progressive overload styles, RPE style training from Mike T, DUP from zourdos, and the basics of periodization are kinda all that's really needed.
