I grew up with the Joy of Cooking, but I only (finally) got my own copy recently. The book that probably made the biggest difference to me, in the sense of how often I used it, was The Moosewood Cookbook.
I do have the New Basics, and can borrow The Silver Palate Cookbook when I need to (my sister has it).
My cooking is really scattershot and I can go for weeks on nothing more elaborate than quick pasta and quesadillas...
