If I could only have Five:

Theory of Poker

Super System

Small Stakes Hold'em

Little Green Poker Book

Harrington on Hold'em Vol II

Totally agree with the above. However, the only book that is purely dedicated to the small stakes player out of these is SSH, and is taylored towards limit poker.

Another recommendation is Pot Limit and No Limit Poker by Bob Ciaffone and Stewart Reuben. Although the book isn't purely Hold'em orientated (other games included) it is currently amongst the best books for NL cash games.

On another note, the strategies in the NL chapter of Super System will have to be adjusted a bit to have success at lower stakes than the chapter is geared towards (Brunson also states this himself) but is well worth picking up. Oh, and it will provide the agressive perspective you are looking for. Also I would get Super System 2, as this includes games that are more frequently played today.
